Deductions & credits

Did this answer work? How did you do it? I'm in the same situation, only worse. I've been paying a court ordered division of my military pension for 16 months. I didn't realize it wasn't alimony, so I thought it wasn't deductible. When I finally found out, I started the QDRO process, which is supposed to take effect in February. Meanwhile, I've paid about $15K in taxes I didn't owe. Can I amend my 2019 and 2018 taxes to deduct (or subtract from my income) the amount I paid to my ex-spouse?
