Get your taxes done using TurboTax

macuser_22,

I think you have missed some of the fine print in the IRS rules about RMDs.  KarenM90 quoted the IRS list of retirement plans that require an RMD (and she gave a link to the relevant IRS publication).  This list includes defined contribution plans but NOT defined benefit plans.  So, I think TT is flawed in not asking if my pension is a defined benefit plan and requiring me to report an RMD.  I buy TT so that it will lead me through complex tax issues such as this.  I think TT has failed me on this issue, and I think it wouldn't be so hard for the programmer's to put in more help for people like me.
