Federal Pension treated as an IRA distribution

Ralph777 · ‎March 27, 2025

Turbotax is trying to treat my federal pension as an IRA distribution and is asking me how much of it is an RMD. Can't seem to find a way around this. Anyone have any ideas? Extremely frustrating. Not sure why Turbotax doesn't recognize a 1099 from the Office of Personnel Management as a pension and not an IRA. Especially, since it imported my prior years information.

When you enter a 1099R for a pension you just need to say it was all RMD. A pension meets the requirements for an RMD.
