When my parents divorced, my mom was awarded half of his federal civil service retirement. She has been receiving monthly payments. Now she's received a form CSA 1099R but box 2a says the taxable amount is unknown and the bottom of the form says "taxable amount not determined". So we don't know how to report this on her tax return. Is this taxable? The whole thing? Part of it?
