To enter Alimony payments received -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Less Common Income
On Alimony Received, click the start or update button

Alimonies for divorces and separations finalized after 2018 are no longer taxable or deductible.

You can deduct alimony paid if the divorce was finalized by the end of 2018.   If the divorce was finalized after 12-31-2018 the alimony paid is not deductible.

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Other Deductions and Credits>Alimony Paid
