Opus you didn't mention the 1099R form. The military pension is not a 401K plan. The divorce was filed in the state of Virginia in 1998 with a final order of divorce granted. We both signed, inequity or not. Taxes are a federal matter. Correct?
IMO most accountants don't deal with military law or the 10/10 rule.
My ex pays all the taxes on the entire amount. Yes he cannot deduct his portion as alimony per the divorce decree. My portion of his military retirement is per the decree a property settlement.... something we both contributed to during our marriage (during his active duty status, I moved 7 times to support his career).
