Retirement tax questions

There is no place on the 1099-R where payments for health insurance are recorded, so no, you didn't miss anything.

That doesn't mean you can't take a deduction for your payments.

If your pension trustee sent you a statement summarizing your payments for insurance, use that number. Otherwise, you may calculate what you paid and enter it on Schedule A under Deductions & Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses.
