赡养费如何保税？

A needs to pay B $1000 /month spousal support
B needs to pay A $500/month child support

A actually pay B $500 /month (after offset the $500 that B need to pay A）

spousal support is tax deductable, child support is not.

My question is, when A file tax return, should A put $1000 as alimony, or $500 as alimony?

thanks!
