was it a 'rollover' or just an account 'transfer' between two IRAs, usually done electronically over ACATS. you can move IRA assets around partially or fully between institutions just as account transfers, like any other brokerage account, and would not generate a 1099-R or any tax reporting, provided the 'type' of account is the same. If it's 401k to IRA that's a rollover, or IRA to Roth IRA then that's a 'conversion' etc, and those would generate 1099-Rs.
