I received $9000 in child support payments in 2023. How much of that amount is taxable?

As per our TurboTax The Tax Treatment of Support Payments:

 

The Tax Treatment of Child Support

For court orders or written agreements that were made after April 1997, all child support payments are considered non-taxable, non-deductible.

The former spouse or common-law partner does not need to include child support amounts received when filing a tax return. The individual who is paying the child support cannot claim a tax deduction for child support payments made.
