Deductions & credits
Yes. The alimony deduction is an adjustment to income, which is an "above the line" deduction. You are allowed the alimony deduction, regardless of whether you claim the standard deduction or itemized deductions. That is, the alimony deduction is in addition to either the standard deduction or itemized deductions, not part of them.
That did not change with the 2018 tax law.
