According to IRS rules, child support doesn't count as taxable income, nor can you use them as a deduction.

A handful of states have rules that differ from the IRS. If your state is one of them, we'll cover that when you prepare your state tax return.

No, child support is not taxable. Do not enter it on your income tax return.
