Retirement tax questions

A 1099-R with a code R, if entered into the 2016 software will be ignored.  The recharactorization can only be reported in the IRA contribution section with an explanation statement.   Between the 1099-R sent by the account trustee and your 2016 explanation statements is how the IRS gets the information.  

If you already did that in 2016, then there is noting else to do.
