Be a bit careful though...the normal traditional pension coming from OPM is reported yearly on a CSA-1099-R.

 

That is not the same as the TSP (thrift Savings Plan) program, which OPM allows and is entirely separate from the traditional pension, and equivalent to a 401k.....and reported on a standard 1099-R.

One way to tell the difference is to contact OPM and find out for sure which they are sending you (perhaps both if you are over age 72 now).  But if you are receiving both, there should be two separate forms for you to enter into the software.
