Re: taxes on unallocated support payments
Child support payments are not taxable to you. Alimony/maintenance payments are.
Generally, the amount is allocated first to child support and then to alimony.
You are single on the last date of the tax year, so you can either file as "single" or as "head of household" if you are maintaining the home for your child(ren) and the child is living with you.
Good luck to you.
