Retirement tax questions

We are not on speaking terms and haven't been since the divorce. I have no idea what she enters on her tax return. I'm asking about it now because the question was raised about whether or not it is tax free income from a non IRS entity. After being provided with the divorce decree, my tax preparers never in 20 years have entered it on my tax returns and the IRS told me that it wasn't required to be reported and I'm in no position to argue with anyone on whether or not that's true. I'm disabled and I have to trust people more than I want to and I don't feel qualified really, to argue with anyone about tax laws.
