Shouldn't this be added after the second sentence in ToddL's reply: If DFAS pays you directly and sends you a Form 1099-R, you report that amount on your tax return (in Retirement Plans > Pension Plans (1099-R). When DFAS pays you directly, he cannot deduct the payments as alimony because they are not included in the "Gross Distribution" shown on his 1099-R.
Thoughts??
