They are entered in the Retirement section of Turbotax.   You should be receiving Form 1099-R reporting the allocation of retirement plan from your ex-spouse.To enter form 1099-R, please follow the steps below:

  1. Federal Taxes   
  2. Select Wages and Income
  3. Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
  4. Select IRA, 401(k), pension Plans (1099-R)

If this is your first year, and/or form 1099-R is not received, please enter the amount as alimony received:

  1. Federal Taxes
  2. Wages & Income
  3. Scroll down to Less Common Income, select Alimony Received
