I am very confused about this. The question that a withdrawal from a regular pension fund is an RMD was never asked before by Turbo Tax and I couldn't find a way to get out of it except to say "Yes. some or all of this withdrawal was an RMD".
Is the IRS interpreting this in a new way or is it a glitch in Turbo Tax. It also raises a question....If I am receiving my full pension payments each month, then can I couple the total annual pension amount with my IRA total, calculate the RMD for the year and attribute the full monthly withdrawal towards the RMD to satisfy the government? If so, I would not need to deplete my IRAs so fast.
