I am not the receiver. I am the one that receives the retirement from the government. A portion of that called apportionment is sent to my ex. I am taxed on the full amount however block 2 of the 1099R lists unknown. Meaning of the full amount say 75K is my yearly income, 35k goes to the ex. OPM does not subtract her amount from mine when calculating the taxable amount. I was just wanting clarification if I am suppose to take my amount and subtract her amount and then enter that amount in block 2 as taxable. 


With a QDRO the ex should receive a 1099-R for the portion that the ex receives that is taxable to the ex.

 

Your CSA-1099-R should only show the mount that you receive that is taxable to you.
