Survivor benefits and taxes

0

Q. I retired from CSRS in 2005 at age 57 and 32 years of service. I elected to provide survivor benefits to my spouse at retirement (55 percent). We were divorced Sept. 16, 2013. However, I have elected to continue to provide survivor benefits for her. Are those survivor benefits tax deductible?

A. No.
