How do I deduct alimony in California state taxes?

In Federal questions, Turbo Tax asked about alimony paid. Since my divorce finalized in 2021, it's not deductible for Federal. But alimony IS deductible for California. But it doesn't appear that Turbo Tax applied the info I supplied in the Federal questions to my CA taxes. It does not say anything at all about alimony in the CA questions. Am I supposed to just enter it as an Adjustment to Income (Subtraction)? But the form doesn't give me the opportunity to put in ex's name and SSN. What gives???
