@johngorczyca - It's not clear exactly what you mean by "support for former wife." Is it child support or alimony? Child support is not tax deductible, but alimony is. But if it's alimony, you do not make the adjustment when you enter your SSA-1099. Alimony that you paid is entered in a different place. When you enter your SSA-1099, you must enter the full amount in box 5 as it appears on the SSA-1099.
