How do I report income from a foreign national pension from the countries that doesn't have special treaty ?

I will start receiving a tiny amount of national pension from Japan where I worked for about ten years, starting this year (2022). It's much less than $10k per year.

As far as I know, Japan is not one of the countries that U.S. government allows a special treatment in for income reporting purpose. So I would have to report it but where do I enter this in TurboTax Desktop? Do I also need to make a substitute 1099-R. Will Turbotax Desktop automatically prompt this?

You report your foreign pension under less common income.

Open your TurboTax Desktop
Click on Wages and Income
Click on the less common income
Click on Miscellaneous income
Click on other reportable income
Enter the foreign pension
