Retired 12/31/15; turned 70 1/29/2016. Rolled over 401K to IRA in Feb 2015. Do I have to take an RMD from this rollover as an "ineligible rollover amount" this year?

The 401K provider is Principal, the IRA is in Scottrade.  Principal sent a letter to Scottrade insisting a portion of the rollover be taken out this year, but I wish to defer it to early 2017, and I have found nothing in the IRS or Treasury rules to state that I cannot wait to take this RMD.  I don't want to pay penalties, but don't need the extra income this year.  Principal insists it cannot be deferred until 2017.
