  1. Search for 1099-R and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  2. Continue through the screens to import or enter your 1099-R form.
  3. When asked Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion select I rolled over some or all of it to an IRA or other retirement account within the time limits (normally 60 days) and Continue.
  4. On the next screen, Did you roll over all of this (Box 1) to another retirement account? answer Yes, I rolled over to an IRA or other retirement account (or returned it to the same account) and Continue.

If taxes were withheld in box 4 of your form, they'll either be added to your refund or applied to your tax liability.
