I don't know about your Stimulus situation but there is nothing that can tell you that you never have to file again.  Unless you only get Social Security.

If you have pension income and alimony they are both taxable. If you get a monthly pension check that is the same as getting the cash each month.

If it's asking what you did with the money.  It should have 2 choices.  If you didn't do the first one then just select the other one.  All it really wants to know is if you rolled it over or put it into another retirement account or even back to the same account.

If you get a monthly pension check then pick the other circle for I did something else with it.  You did get the cash each month.  That is "something else”.
