No, RMDs, investment income and social security payments are not taxable compensation. Taxable compensation from which a Roth IRA contribution is made come from wages, net earnings from self employment, alimony, commissions or non taxable combat pay. If you are married and your spouse has taxable compensation, that can be used to fund a contribution for you (or vice versa).
