Basically, Tacitus tells us she did, but only to get her son Tiberius on the throne instead of Augustus' Grandson Agrippa (because she had become paranoid that Augustus' had begun to favour Agrippa and had secret meetings with him). There is no other source that tells us this and modern historians find it very doubtfull.

Did Liviva really poison Augustus?

Although it is not proven historically, I tend to believe that she did. Cassius Dio notes that Livia might have killed him and the researches do not show any conflict between Cassius Dio and Livia, so he did not have any reason to lie about this subject. But again, it is not proven historically. Today, it's accepted by the historians that Augustus Caesar died of natural causes.
