Child support is not income to the recipient or a deduction for the payer. Spousal support, also called maintenance or alimony, is income to the recipient and deductible for the payer.
Probably because the rules for the section 8 housing program requires you to report the child support payment as a part of your income when it is received. For income tax purposes on your federal income tax return child support is NOT TAXABLE income that you would report on your 1040 tax form.
Presuming you mean for taxes...as for lenders and such the answer may be different. No. Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee. When you total your gross income to see if you are required to file a tax return, do not include child support payments received.
No, child support is not income.

It doesn't. Child support does not count as income and is not taxable for the recipient.
Almost certainly. You have to read all the small print telling you how to enter information.
Child support is based on the income that the court finds that a person earns, not what their tax docs show. If one party believes that the other party is failing to claim some income, they would have to show proof of the hidden income, and ask the court to declare that the person's actual income reflects the higher number.
