Is RMD applicable to Military Retirement Pay on a 1099-R?

Sort of.  Say all of it is the RMD. If you are 72 it will ask you if it is the RMD. Say yes. The pension doesn't need to calculate any RMD. Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the RMD. Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD.
