Choose you did something else with it.

Me too.  What happens if I did put some of it in a Roth?

Assuming you are receiving distributions (Form 1099R,)  you can rollover a portion of your pension distribution into a ROTH.

Pension and annuity distributions are usually made to retired employees, disabled employees, and in some cases to the beneficiary of a deceased employee.

• If no after-tax contributions were made to the pension plan before distribution, the entire amount is generally included in taxable income.
• However, in cases where after-tax contributions were made to an annuity or pension, only a portion of the distribution will usually be taxed.

Therefore if you set up a ROTH IRA, you will pay taxes when the pension is rolled over. However, you won't pay taxes on the withdrawals since the contributions were made with after-tax funds.

If this response does not answer your question, please clarify.
