YES---you have to enter your 1099R --- did it come in your mail yet?  If not, it should arrive soon or you might have to go on the plan's website to get it.

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
