IRMF Pension RMD

Turbo Tax is asking me this year (never has before) what was my 2024 IMRF pension RMD amount, and did I satisfy it by Dec 31, 2024. 

 

Some details

  • I turned 73 this year
  • I receive a fixed amount income deposit from my IMRF pension each month.
  • Each year there is a calculated increase to the monthly amount.
  • IMRF is a Pension, not an IRA, not a 401K, and not a 403B plan
  • IMRF did not send me any 2024 RMD requirements
  • I don't believe that I even have any recourse to request any additional funds from my IMRF pension.
  • What do I enter on the 1099R for the RMD questions?

You can just say that all of it was RMD. TurboTax is only asking to see if it needs to fill out Form 5329 for a missed RMD. If you say you received all your RMD TurboTax won't fill out Form 5329.
