Retirement tax questions

No.  A monthly pension is not eligible for rollover.   Only earned income W-2 or net self-employed" income can be IRA contribution.

 

TurboTax asks questions reguardless of the type of plan because there is nothing on a 1099-R that indicates the plan type and if it eligible for rollover or not.    If you are age 70 or older it will as if it is a RMD and ALL pensions are RMD's and that will prevent the rollover questions.
