Where you enter the amount depends on if you received the support or paid it. 

If you received alimony, go to the Federal Taxes > Income and Expenses

scroll to less common income and expand it and select the alimony received topic


If you paid alimony, go to the Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits

scroll to Other Deductions and Credits and select the alimony paid topic


Hope this helps
