Maybe my question isn’t clear. I know how to add alimony to the form. The problem is that I am getting conflicting information on whether my situation qualifies to be entered as alimony.
my divorce was in 1998
in our division of property she was awarded a percentage of my future military retirement
i started sending her payments directly this year
I was informed during Chat on turbo tax that this is a retirement distribution and that I cannot claim it as alimony
if it qualifies I would like to take the deduction. What I don’t want to happen is to claim and have it rejected by the IRS.
