I entered my information for my OPM pension (Form 1099-R) into Turbotax for pensions. On my 1099-R, Block 9b contains the "Total Employee Contributions." As my 1099-R had information in that block, I entered it into that block in Turbotax. The next screen that appeared dealt with RMD. Because I am over 70.5 years old, one of the questions was "Was this withdrawal and RMD for 2019?" My monthly OPM pension payment has nothing to do with an IRA or an account that involves RMDs, so I do not understand why Turbotax is asking this question. It wants either a "Yes, some or all of this withdrawal was an RMD" or "No. none of this withdrawal was an RMD. (This is not common.)" Neither of these answers should apply. I have checked the entire entry to see if perhaps I entered (or failed) to enter something that would cause this issue to surface, but cannot find anything to explain it. How do I deal with this as I am pretty sure that Turbotax will not allow me to not check one of these two boxes?
