1) Depending on the entries from your 1099-R, you may need to add information about your retirement in TurboTax. Generally, FRS contributions that you made as an employee are tax-deferred, meaning that you didn't pay tax on that amount when you were working, so the full amount of your distribution is taxable, so unless you participated in the FRS Investment Plan or received a lump-sum distribution, the TurboTax entries should be pretty straightforward.
What does your 1099-R show for distribution code in box 7? What other boxes have amounts? On the screen in TurboTax that says Was This Distribution From a Qualified Plan? you would check "From a Qualified Plan." You would check that you didn't make any after tax contributions to the plan.
Please go back and review your entries,and respond if you still have questions.
