Question

I just put in my Alimony I paid and my refund took a big hit. It dropped about $700 dollars. I'm confused.

Where did you enter it?  Did you enter it under Alimony Received instead of Paid?  There are different places.  It should be on Schedule 1 line 19a which goes to 1040 line 10.  It will reduce your income and may reduce any credits you are getting.

 

Federal Taxes Tab
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Other Deductions and Credits
Alimony Paid - Click the Start or Update button

 

Before filing you can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
