Divorce decree awards half of PERS retirement income to ex, but sent it all to me. I passed it on to ex. How do I report it?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You can nominee the portion that belongs to your spouse and report only your portion of the retirement on your tax return.
Nominee returns. Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received). You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area.
The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms here: Click here to order forms or publications from the IRS.
