Can I deduct spousal support payments from my income when filing CA state income taxes?

Yes, you can deduct those In California, but not on the federal return.   In California:

 

  • If you receive alimony payments, you must report it as income on your California return.
  • If you pay alimony to a former spouse/RDP, you're allowed to deduct it from your income on your California return.
