1099R form from OPM - Taxable Amount

Sirs,

I am retired from the Postal Service. My 1099-R in Box 2a - Taxable amount is listed as unknown. This started when my gross annuity was reduced by 4335.06 to be paid to my ex-wife. Am I required to put an amount in that box and if so how do I determine the correct amount. Do I subtract the amount sent to my wife from my gross distribution amount and use that as the taxable amount?

Thank you in advance for your help.
