If you received a 1099-R to report the distribution, enter it in TurboTax as shown. Then you'll enter a subtraction under Other Income for the portion you paid to your ex-spouse.
To enter it as a negative in Other Income (which is the easiest for the IRS to understand):
- In TurboTax Online click on Federal on the left column
- Click on Wages & Income at the top
- Scroll all the way down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
- On the next page, scroll all the way down to Other Reportable Income
- Say Yes to Any Other Taxable Income?
- In Other Taxable Income, enter a Description and (negative) Amount
Thank you for your service.
