"I rolled over as much of my 401-K as I could to a self-directed IRA."

 

It's not clear that any Roth money is involved.  You appear to have said that you rolled the entire amount reported on this Form 1099-R over to a traditional IRA, so if that's the case, there is no need to split the Form 1099-R into two.  Splitting the Form 1099-R is only appropriate if portions of the distribution went to different types of retirement accounts.  IF the entire distribution was rolled over to a traditional IRA, your after-tax basis from the traditional 401(k) has become basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions in your traditional IRAs.

 

If, despite what you have described, you actually did roll the after-tax portion of the distribution from the 401(k) directly to a Roth IRA, then splitting of the Form 1099-R is necessary so that you can answer Yes when asked if that portion was rolled over to a Roth IRA.
