I'm confused by the question about the required minimum distribution for my civil service pension. I have seen the advice to enter the entire amount of a monthly pension as an RMD. Should this be the gross distribution , or the taxable amount, or the total of monthly amounts received after Federal & state taxes are withheld?

When you enter a 1099R for a monthly pension you just say it was all RMD. A pension fulfills the requirements for RMD.

Sorry, I'm still confused. They ask for number in an actual dollar amount. Should this be the gross distribution, taxable amount or what I received after taxes withheld? What does "all " refer to?
