I am using the free version of turbo tax. There’s no place to enter alimony received. If I upgrade to Max will it allow me to enter my alimony ?

Unfortunately, you cannot use the free version of TurboTax.  You must upgrade to the Deluxe version.  

Remember, alimony (spousal support) you received should be reported as income if the divorce or separation agreement is executed by December 31, 2018.  Don't report child support.

Alimony payments resulting from agreements executed after 2018 no longer have to be reported due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017. The same holds true for agreements modified after 2018 if the new version specifically states that the TCJA treatment of nonreportable alimony payments now applies.

To report alimony you received:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
2. Inside TurboTax, search for alimony received and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
3. Answer Yes to Did you receive alimony or spousal support? and follow the onscreen instructions.
