Retirement tax questions

Ok ... since Nevada has no state income tax that is a mute subject.   

 

AND if the divorce was final as of 12/31/2020 then you do NOT file a joint return because you were no longer married as of midnight on 12/31.   If you already did then you need to correct that asap.  

 

Now will the 20% federal withholding be enough ?   Be enough for whom ?   Did the court issue a QDRO for the retirement distribution ?    If so did she get the 1099-R form in her name only ?    If so that is her problem to deal with not yours.
