Consider it your RMD.

Pension payments already satisfy the rules for withdrawing a minimum amount per year based on life expectancy.  If you have a traditional pension, answer "yes, this is an RMD".

Also, your 1099-R issuer is required to follow RMD rules and regulations, so if you received a distribution and you're at least 72 years young, you can be almost certain you received an RMD. Check with your plan administrator if you're still not sure.
