Are my wife's retirement payments from Germany reported and where do I report it with turbo tax

[w-b]

I have no document form The German Goverment with the data like , I have captured the deposits in a specific checking account that we setup for these deposits from Germany.

Pensions from the German government are treated just like US social security payments reported on a SSA 1099. So enter the amount received as a SSA1099 (assuming she lives in the US and not in Germany now). See the US Germany tax treaty https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/germany-tax-treaty-documents

Actually that article does not reflect the correct way to enter pensions from the German government (Rentenversicherung)
