Turbo Tax is asking how much or if I paid an RMD on my Government monthly pension/annuity. Did doesn’t make sense. Can anyone help explain what to do?

@ilovelouie- 

 

Once you reach age 73, TTX will ask that about every 1099-R that you enter.

For your Govt pension payments,  

1)   It IS an RMD

2) All of it was an RMD

_________________

The question is asking if you "received" the RMD (Required Minimum Distribution).

For pension payouts, it is automatically all an RMD

 

BUT...for funds like IRAs, or TSP/401k accounts, you must take certain minimum amounts (RMD) out of them each year once you reach age 73.  That is something you must be sure to do for these other retirement accounts. 

 

But for your Govt pension, the RMD is automatically taken care of.
