Defined Pension Plan question

Paying for College
1

I have a IRA and a 401K which I can report in the "Enter the value in the parent’s tax deferred retirement, pension…

I also have a defined pension plan from my employer. Do I report this in the Parent has another retirement plan? Should I include a value - I don’t get a statement but can go and run a pension benefit calculation to take a lump sum if I were to retire today.

I am submitting the CSS today and this is the last hurdle!
Thanks!

Is this a required pension like for a public employee? If so, it is not included…I believe.

If this is an optional retirement plan that you have elected, yes, you would include it.

It was a public company plan; no contributions. You got it when you were hired. I don’t think it was elected.
