Retirement tax questions

I had a missed RMD from an IRA.  How do I enter this information in the Turbo Tax software?

 

In addition, I had two pensions.  Are they considered RMDs?  I receive monthly payments from these pensions.

Yes, pensions are RMDs.   The total amount of monthly payments *is* the RMD.

First, take the missed IRA RMD ASAP so you can tell the IRS that is was taken late.

When entering the 1099-R for the pension, continue the interview after the 1099-R summary screen and it will ask if all RMD's were taken -  say no. 

See example on screenshots below.

That will add a 5329 form with a penalty waiver request that the IRA almost never denies if the missed RMD was taken.
