Can I use 1040 ez form to pay taxes on retirement income?

There has not been a 1040EZ since 2017. Everyone uses Form 1040. You can enter IRA distributions on Form 1040.

To enter your retirement income, Go to Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA 401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
