I took a partial withdrawal of my RMD ( monthly withdrawal) for several months in 2020. Th plan administrator called and asked if I wanted to suspend further payments in 2020, I agreed. My 1099-R shows what I received. Should I answer "Yes-some or all of this withdrawal was an RMD" and enter the number on the 1099-R

You can do that although technically it’s not a RMD since they were suspended for 2020. The important thing is that you report what you withdrew and didn’t roll over.

TurboTax only asks the question to determine how much was eligible for rollover.  If you didn't roll over any of these distributions, it doesn't matter how you answer this question.
