After you file

1099-R's are issued for all types of retirement accounts and they are reported differently.   Where is is found on your tax return  depends on the box 7 code, the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box and what you did with the money - rolled it over, converted it, kept it, etc.     Most 1099-R reporting will be on the 1040 line 4(a,b,c or d) depending on the codes and year.   Some 1099-R's do not go on line 4 at all, depending again on the codes.
