Retirement tax questions

I assume from your description that you received a 1099-R with a distribution code of '7' and the "total distribution" box checked.

In the 1099-R, after you enter the 1099-R information (and after a lot of other questions) you will be asked "What did you do with the money from [name]'s [pension name]?"

You will check the first bullet: "[name] moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account)".

This will expose two new lines. You will check the first one: "[name] rolled over all this money".

Now your 1099-R distribution will not be taxed.
