As long as you are getting regular payments from your PERS, as a Qualified Plan you will meet your RMD.  @nubian1948

But in the turbotax web page , after you indicate the amount of your distribution for your 1099-R for OPERS, it asks you how your distribution relates to the RMD. it gives you three choices, all of my distribution was RMD, part of it was RMD (and if you choose this one it want to know what part of the distribution was RMD), none of it was RMD. Since this thread indicates opers pension is subject to RMD I have to give one of these answers. But, I don't have the foggiest idea what my RMD is for my pers pension. what answer should I give?
