Alimony Question

mb18 — Mon, 10 May 2021 14:54:13 GMT

My wife and I were previously married and divorced in 2017. We remarried each other in 2020. We have entered the alimony paid by me and the alimony received by her (both are the same amount) in 2020. Since my wife's SSN is on our joint return and we need to record a SSN for the person who received the alimony on 1040/1040-SR Worksheet, TurboTax won't allow me to file because it won't allow the duplicate SSN. How do I resolve this and be able to file? Thanks!

Since the addition and deduction of the alimony does not change your joint return, in order to resolve the duplicate Social Security number issue just do not report the alimony at all.
