    In case it matters, is the IRA box checked on either one?

    Based on the Box 5 amount you describe, I'd say it is non-taxable.

    "Box 5. Generally, this shows the employee’s investment in the contract (after-tax contributions), if any, recovered tax free this year; the portion that’s your basis in a designated Roth account; the part of premiums paid on commercial annuities or insurance contracts recovered tax free; the nontaxable part of a charitable gift annuity; or the investment in a life insurance contract reportable under section 6050Y."

      This is normal with some companies and usually the two 1099R's are for the same retirement plan. Its just easier to do two separate 1099R's; one showing the taxable portion of distribution and one showing the distribution amount that is not taxable (Box 5).

        Yes, I see that now after re-reading. I would have widow check on the second company that is showing info in Box 5. There may be more funds payable. Unusual to have just employee contributions from a plan where the policyholder is deceased. Everything should have been paid out. One possibility is that the pension itself changed custodians at some point.
