Yes. You should receive a form 1099-R for your Roth IRA withdrawal and have to enter it on your tax return.

 

If you are over 59 1/2 and have had the Roth IRA account for more than 5 years, the withdrawal is tax-free, but you have to enter the form 1099-R on your tax return and follow the the TurboTax interview.
