Deductions & credits

I do have some verbiage in the court order that states, "Plaintiff is liable for all federal and state taxes on the retired pay received from Defendant and those amounts paid by Defendant to Plaintiff are deductible by Defendant and taxable as income to Plaintiff. "  What if I issued her a 1099-Misc or the 1099 for alimony? 

would it get rejected from the IRS and complicate matters?  Because the money she is getting is a portion of my retirement and I have been paying the taxes. She should pay her fair share of TAXES and I should get credit.

Only businesses issue  a 1099-MISC in the course of doing business, individuals do not.

 

Again consult your attorney.
