Alimony or support payments received
The program allows you to enter alimony or support payments
received (for yourself and/or for your dependant child or children,
whichever case applies).
To enter the amounts received pertaining to alimony or support
payments, please follow these steps:
1. On the "Left side menu on the Interview tab", select
"Interview setup".
2. On the right-hand side of the screen, go to the "Parents
and children" group, check the box "Alimony or support
payments" and click "Next" at the bottom of the
page.
3. Return to the "Left side menu on the Interview tab",
select the "Alimony or support payments" section, and
in the screen on the right choose the line "Support payments
received by you".
4. On the page entitled "Support received from your ex-
spouse," enter all relevant information, specifically the
two following lines, "Total support payment
received in 2021 (including the
non-taxable child support expected for 2021)"
and the "Non-taxable child support expected for
2021 ".
The program will report these amounts to line
12799 and 12800 of the federal return. It
should be noted that only the amount on line 12800 is
taxable.
For residents of Quebec, the program will report only the
taxable amount on line 142 of the Quebec return.
