Why can't I get my alimony payments received in 2023 to show up in my income and wages section of my return?

I have entered the correct amount of alimony received in 2023 by when I moved forward to the "Let's get the details on your 2023 income" page, it only shows the previous year's alimony received and $0.00 for 2023.  Am I entering the alimony correctly?

For divorces starting in January, 2019 alimony is not taxable income. It was for divorces before that time. Did the program ask when your divorce was?

It shows up for me when I tested it in TurboTax Desktop. If you are online, you might need to complete the income section before it will show up. Be careful to input the amounts in the proper column for either taxpayer or spouse if you are filing jointly.
