Does this still hold true for 2020 tax purposes? I retired from the military last year and paid my ex-wife (with a personal check) for 6 months of her portion of the military retirement. The military caught up and paid her via direct deposit for the other 6 months. My 1099R shows me getting ALL of the retirement income and paying ALL of the taxes. Is there a way I can deduct her portion from my gross distribution and recoupe the taxes I paid on her portion of the retirement?
