You do report a foreign pension using Substitute 1099-R.  You should report it as "Other Income".  To then report the amount as Other Income in TurboTax:

• Type "Other Income" in Search and hit Enter
• Click on "Jump to other income"
• Answer "No" to "Did you get a 1099-MISC"
• Continue through the interview till you get to "Less Common Income" and click on it.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Start" next to "Miscellaneous Income, ..."
• Click on Start next to "Other reportable income"
• Answer Yes to "Any Other Taxable Income?"
• Give a description (e.g. Foreign Pension) and enter the amount
• The amount will be reported as "Other Income" on Schedule 1 of Form 1040
