The money should have been sent directly to the IRA, and if so there would have been nothing to do with your taxes.
Now to fix this and report it correctly you will need to go the Retirement area and report this under the 1099R section. See below.
I know you do not have a 1099R but will do a substitute 1099R and list the custodian of the account (broker) as the issuer.
The $1,500 will be box 1 and 2a and in box 7 the code will be 1 (if you are under 59 1/2) and the box near 7 will be checked IRA/SEP/SIMPLE.
