Retirement tax questions

For the federal taxes you would pay taxes if you were getting a 1099-R or alimony.  Since you are not getting a form 1099-R, entering as alimony would be proper.  

 

For the state question, it appears the best option without a form 1099-R is to enter the amount in the AZ state interview as "Other Subtraction" and in the description state "Military Retirement Pay-Alimony" and put in the amount.  In the AZ interview you will find a page titled "Other Subtraction".
