Is there anything more current, which distinguishes Alimony from Division of Marital Property (according to the MPDOs drawn up, they consider it a division of property)?
If managed through DFAS, 1099Rs are received on both sides, so both sides pay taxes only on their own portion, no deductions or adjustments necessary.
However, if DFAS does *not* manage it (because, for example, the 10/10 threshold is not met), one ex-spouse pays the other a portion of their retirement pay, but should be able to adjust income downward based on that amount, while the ex spouse pays taxes on the received money as income.
