Unless you are rolling it back then it does not matter.  The only purpose of the question is to prevent rolling it over.

It depends on your circumstances if this Form 1099-R will count as a Required Minimum Distribution. If it was taken out from a employer sponsored retirement plan, IRA or pension, you would typically have answered yes, but answer no that it was a RMD withdrawal because of the Cares Act.

 

RMD's were waived in 2020.
