I've been getting this for years.   This isn't about the 1099-R.   What's puzzling is TT is asking about RMD ....

it's a monthly distribution that i;ve receved since 2013... but it's trying to pigeonhole this as an IRA... never was,

it is a pension plan distribution.


The idea of an RMD is that you can't let the balance sit indefinitely, you have to withdraw it over your expected life span.  Since a defined pension is already calculated (by the payer) to be paid out over your lifetime, it is technically the same as taking an RMD from an IRA.  So just answer yes this is an RMD.
