Alimony on 1099 Misc

[jasdlm]

I have a new client who receives alimony.  Her ex sent a 1099 misc with the alimony in box 3.  I've never seen alimony reported on a 1099 misc (although I gather it's okay).  

 

If I report it on line 21, won't IRS send a notice because he deducted alimony using her SSN and it doesn't show on her return?  On the flip side, if I report it in box 11, won't IRS send a notice because she received a 1099 misc and nothing on line 21 or 12?

 

Anyone have experience with this?

 

Thanks.

_{You could send it to line 21 from the 1099misc, then minus it out at the bottom with "alimony moved to line 31 "}

Okay.  That's what I'll do.  Thanks much!
