Scroll down to Boxes 4a and 4b. There should be a difference. 4a is your gross distribution and 4b is your taxable amount of your distribution. In addition, underneath 4a should say rollover. There will not be an amount listed there but this informs the IRS that the difference is because of the rollover.
NOTE: If there are no amounts listed in 4a and 4b BUT listed in 5a and 5b, then this was incorrectly reported as a pension. You will need to go back into your program and edit the 1099-R and check the box within the form stating that this is an IRA so that this distribution is handled correctly in the program.
Then I answered:
There is nothing in line 4a. The full $15,600 is shown in line 4b, the right hand column.
The word "Rollover" does not appear in line 4a or 4b.
There is nothing in 5a. The full amount payments from 2 pensions is correctly shown on line 5b.
