Enter it in the same place - but when you get to the question about it being for an RMD - answer NO, none of this was for an RMD, and then a few screens later, you will be asked what you did with it. But yes, delete the 1099-R and start a new entry. If you try to edit the one you already entered, it won't give you the RMD questions.
Since RMDs were waived for 2020, no part of the distribution was actually an RMD even though it was taken with the intention of satisfying an RMD. In TurboTax, indicate that the distribution was not an RMD. Indicate that you moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same account), then indicate how much of the distribution you returned to the IRA. TurboTax will include the entire gross amount on Form 1040 line 4a but exclude the amount rolled over from the amount on line 4b. TurboTax will also include the word ROLLOVER next to the line.
If you did not substitute other funds for the amount withheld for taxes so as to complete the rollover of the entire gross amount of the distribution, the amount of the withholding remains distributed, not rolled over, and subject to tax; it's too late to complete a rollover of that portion of the distribution. If the overall tax liability determined on your tax return is less than your total withholding, including the amount withheld from the IRA distribution, you'll get a tax refund. @joeblu2
