Since your former spouse is receiving a Form 1099-R from DFAS she would be reporting that income on her income tax return as pension income. You would not include that amount as Alimony Paid.
The additional payment you send for alimony should be reported on your tax return as Alimony Paid. On her tax return she would report that as Alimony Received.
To report Alimony Paid -
- Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
- Click on Deductions and Credits
- Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
- Scroll down to Other Deductions and Credits
- On Alimony Paid, click the start or update button
Or enter alimony paid in the Search box in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to alimony paid
