I don't know about your state but nothing has changed for Federal. If it is pre2019 you can still deduct it on your tax return. Didn't you deduct it last year and before?
If you pay Alimony:
Go to
Federal
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Other Deductions and Credits
Alimony Paid - Click the Start or Update button
this is a case where state and federal laws differ, if the divorce decree was entered into after 2018 it is not deductible by the payor and is not taxable to the recipient for FEDERAL purposes. your state can do whatever it wants so it may allow a deduction to the payor and tax the recipient.
