The only difference is that my taxable income is some 0.13 cents in 1099-R, which makes taxable income zero.

I tried to change numbers in 1099-R temporarily just for testing so that I get $1 taxable income, then I see word ROLLOVER below 5a.  


The IRS required that 1099-R amounts be rounded to the nearest dollar.    That would round to zero.   If that is what is in box 1 the  just ignore the 1099-R - it cannot be filed with zero income.
