Support payments are financial support paid to by an individual to a former spouse or common-law partner based on a court order or written agreement to help with the cost of living.

 

You can enter your Support Payments made by going to:

  • Deductions
  • Payments Profile
  • Alimony or Child Support Payments

How do I enter child support payments made or received?

 

Note: It is important to distinguish between child support and spousal support because the tax treatment of each one is different. Please read the following link  for important information
