When it comes to alimony, you are only required to report the amount received that is taxable to you. Therefore, you should only enter the $4,000 figure into the TurboTax program. If the IRS questions your entry later simply reply to their inquiry by providing a copy of your court order showing that only the $4,000 was taxable.
