Normally you are not paying the taxes on those payments. Your 1099R would only include the amount you received, while you ex-spouse gets a 1099R showing the amount they receive. You should contact DFAS to confirm.
Here is a link with DFAS contact information in the upper left column. Also note the answer to the question, "Are USFSPA retired pay as property payments taxable to the former spouse?"
