Maybe.....you have not provided any information about how much your pension income was.   Lots of retired people still have to file tax returns even if they did not work.

Who has to file?

If your taxable pension, box 2a on the Form 1099-R, is less that the Standard Deduction for your filing status you do not have to file a tax return.  However, if you have federal taxes withheld from the pension, box 4 on the Form 1099-R you should file to report the federal taxes withheld and get a refund if eligible.
