When going through my federal taxes, I entered alimony paid and TurboTax told me that I can't deduct it from my federal income, which was expected.
However, after going through my California state taxes, it never prompted or asked me anything about alimony, so I cannot tell if that alimony paid carried over at all, and I cannot find anywhere that even mentions alimony in the California state section.
Should I manually enter it under "Other Adjustments to Income"? And under there, should I put it as a Subtraction or an Addition? Schedule CA (540) line 19a says to enter Alimony Paid as an Addition, but that doesn't seem to make sense since it actually increased my tax liability instead of reducing it as expected.
