Child support payments are not taxable (unless your child support order is dated prior to May 1997) so the taxable portion would be zero. Spousal support payments are taxable (and a tax deduction to the payor).

Everything I find says child support is not taxable. But it asks for it on my State return and then deducts money from my refund when I enter it. Why is that?
