$12,000.
Reason: Although federal law (for instruments executed after 12/31/2018) treats post‑2018 alimony as non‑taxable to the recipient, California did not conform to that change — spousal support is still includible in California gross income, so the full $12,000 received in 2024 is taxable to Stu.
