Massachusetts aligned with IRS rules as of January 1, 2022 to conform with the federal deduction on alimony. Alimony can only be deducted from the MA return if it's deductible on the Fed return. (i.e. on or before 12/31/2018).
See TIR 23-1: Tax Provisions in the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget, Including Massachusetts Personal Income Tax....
Do not override as suggested in the original answer below. TurboTax is correct.
Yes. You can only override in Forms mode in TurboTax CD/Download. Find Massachusetts Schedule Y and right-click on line 3 and select Override (or Ctrl-D). The field will change color and you will be able to enter your alimony paid.
If you can't find Schedule Y, select Open Forms at the top of the left column, tap the + sign next to Massachusetts and double-click on Schedule Y.
