Where do I add my alimony payments on my state return?

I received alimony payments and I didn't see where to add them to my income.

Alimony or separate maintenance payments relating to any divorce or separation agreements dated January 1, 2019 or later are not tax-deductible by the person paying the alimony. The person receiving the alimony does not have to report the alimony payments as income.  

If you have a divorce agreement finalized before January 1, 2019, reporting alimony paid and received on your tax return is easy. You simply input alimony paid or received on Form 1040, Schedule 1.  To enter in TurboTax, click on Income & Expenses.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Show More" next to "Less Common Income".  Click on "Start" next to Alimony and enter the payments you received.

It depends on the state law. 

The tax law was changed with the TCJA making alimony not included in income and not deductible depending on what the date is on your final divorce decree. the other person who answered provided the law. If your alimony was not taxable for federal purposes then it may not be taxable for the state you live in. Most state starting points are adjusted gross income which would include alimony if it was taxable.
