My divorce was final in April of 2020. Do I still file a joint return with him or file as single?

You file as Singe on the 2020 tax return since you are no longer legally married.

No---you are Single.   Your filing status is determined as of December 31, and at the end of 2020 you were single.   You should start a new account with a new user ID because it is too hard to remove the "spouse stuff" from an account that was used for joint returns

I receive disability as my only income along with an additional amount for my daughter. I also receive alimony and child support. Is any of this taxable?
