    Yes. In TurboTax, indicate that the amount received form your defined benefit pension is all RMD.

     

    The IRS says:

     

    A defined benefit plan generally must make RMDs by distributing the participant’s entire interest as calculated by the plan’s formula in periodic annuity payments for:

    • the participant’s life,
    • the joint lives of the participant and beneficiary, or
    • a "period certain."

    Please read this IRS document for more information.
