For IRA distributions, you get a 1099-R with a mark in the "IRA" checkbox.

That's it.

I don't understand your question.

 

An IRA is a specific type of account, intended for retirement income, under a specific section of the tax law.

 

There are other types of retirement income, including pensions, social security, and other "qualified" plans covered under different tax laws, like 401(k), 403(b), 457(a), and so on.

 

All of these accounts could be considered "retirement income."

 

If you want to know where in the program to enter income from an IRA, you should have a 1099-R from the plan manager, and enter that following the other instructions posted.
