Retirement tax questions
As long as both distributions are from qualified retirement plans (which they should be if this is from OPM it is likely a Governmental Agency and you are in CSRS or FERS) and the amounts are accurate, And both distributions would have a Code 7 in box 7 of the Form 1099-R (normal distribution), they will be entered the same and go on the same line of your 1040. So entering the information as shown your 1099-R issued by OPM, as shown would have the same result.
I don't know the details of your pensions and how they are set up and what kind of plans they are. In general, it is the IRS position that separate 1099-R's are issued for separate plans. It may be the case that your retirement money is one plan but separate accounts (one that has survivor benefits and one that does not).
If you have concerns about any of the information on your Form 1099-R you should contact OPM and talk to a specialist there.
