Yes, the law was recently updated Jan 5, 2023 in Massachusetts to reflect IRS guidelines for tax year 2022. Meaning alimony paid is no longer deductible, and alimony received is no longer taxable for divorces or separations that happened after December 31, 2018 as it was before; they now conform to IRS guidelines. Please read Code Update in this link for mass.gov saying alimony is no longer deductible and alimony received is no longer taxed: Code §§ 61(a)(8) and 62(a)(10): Repeal of inclusion of alimony received as gross income and repeal of deduction for alimony payments.
Remember, for tax year 2022, alimony received is not taxed in MA for certain situations depending on date, etc. Hope this helps. The program is correct.
