Federal retirement annuities do not require an RMD. Why do you ask for one?

[SteamTrain · Accepted solution]

If you have reached age 70.5?

...then you just enter that what you received was an RMD and you received all of the the RMD for that tax year from that account.

Even pensions & Fed retirement annuities have an RMD......but it was pre-claculated and is exactly what your are getting every year.  It's the ones you have control over that are the real concern (IRAs, 401ks, TSPs) any where you have to make sure yourself to get your RMD every year.
