If you only have the one 1099-R the answer would be Yes. The financial institution is the trustee of the retirement account.

although the answer is YES, the question is ridiculous and makes no sense.

The question is a bad attempt at asking, "In regard to this Form 1099-R from [financial institution], is this a distribution from an inherited account?" TurboTax Product Quality has declined to improve the improper wording of this question. It's silly that TurboTax even asks the question since the code in box 7 automatically indicates whether or not the distribution was made to a beneficiary of an inherited account.

If it said, "Did you inherit this IRA at <financial institution>?"
maybe the confusion would subside a bit.
