Do I check the box YES under Wages & Salaries?

[templar2b1ask1]

Last year 2015 tax return I retired Jan 30 so I had 1 month wages, but I also had 11 months pension. This year 2016 I had 12 months pension & no wages. Do I check the box YES under Wages & Salaries?

No, you do not check "yes" if you do not have a form W-2. 

You would only enter your pension under retirement section:

1. Federal Taxes
2. Wages and Income
3. Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
4. Select IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099-R)
