                               UNITED STATES TAX COURT                                


                        JEANNE E. AMARASINGHE, Petitioner v.

           DISAMODHA C. AMARASINGHE AND NARLIE AMARASINGHE, Petitioners v.            
                    COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent                      


               Docket Nos. 14062-06, 15883-06.   Filed November 6, 2007.              


                    P-H failed to pay child support and alimony to P-W                
               as required by their divorce agreement.  P-W obtained                  
               an order from a domestic relations court demanding that                
               P-H withdraw all funds from his profit sharing plan                    
               (the Plan) and pay them to P-W to satisfy his                          
               delinquent child support and alimony obligations.  P-H                 
               complied.                                                              
                    On his 2002 income tax return, P-H reported the                   
               distribution from the Plan as income and took a                        
               deduction for alimony paid.  P-H then filed an amended                 
               return taking the position that the distribution from                  
               the Plan was made under a qualified domestic relations                 
               order (QDRO), and therefore under sec. 402(e)(1)(A),                   
               I.R.C., was taxable income to P-W and not P-H.  P-H                    
               also removed the alimony deduction.  P-W reported a
