  6. On the next screen, select Type it in myself, in the lower right corner.
  7. Select 1099-R on the next screen and click Continue.
  8. Enter your 1099-R on the next few screens. 
  9. Continue until you get to 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 click Continue.
