"Defined benefit pension plans do NOT requireor use RMDs:"

 

Actually, defined benefit plans are subject to the same minimum distribution requirements as other types of plans.  It's just that the annual payments are calculated such that they satisfy the RMD requirement.  Because you can't fail to satisfy the minimum required, you normally don't have to think about it.  You can just tell TurboTax that the required amount is the amount that was distributed and that the enter amount distributed applied to the RMD.
