Received a Distribution Statement and check in 2024 as beneficiary for deceased mother in law. How is that reported in Turbo Tax?  No 1099 form received.

It depends. First check your statement to see if it indicates it's a 'substitute 1099-R. If not,, check with your plan administrator to request information as to why they did not issue a Form 1099-R to you.  The fact you did not receive one could be an indicator it is not taxable to you. However if you are referring to a required minimum distribution (RMD vs MRD) then it would seem you have a taxable transaction.

If the executor dispersed funds, you don't report that on your tax return.
