Deductions & credits

To enter spousal support (alimony) you paid:

  • Continue your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
  • Click Tax Tools (lower left side of your screen).
  • Select Tools.
  • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
  • In the I'm looking for: box, type alimony.
  • In the results box, highlight alimony or spousal support paid, then click GO.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions.


Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function and the "Jump to" link (instead of "Tax Tools") to search for the topic.
