Retirement tax questions

"This" year - meaning 2017?

If this was a 2017 distribution then you will report it on your 2017 tax return next year in 2018 and you will have the 1099-R then.

Also if you turn 70 1/2 in 2017 then you have until April 1 of 2018 to take the first RMD (you would also have to take the 2018 RMD in addition before the end of 2018).  That only applies to the *first* RMD for the year that you turn 70 1/2.
