It depends on the coding in box 7 is on your 1099-R. (You would only report the rollover if you received a 1099-R since your Form 5498 is for information purposes only).
If this is a trustee-to-trustee transfer involving
no payment or distribution to the participant, which includes a
trustee-to-trustee transfer from one IRA to another IRA, then this is generally
not reported on Form 1099-R. Therefore you will have no reporting requirement related to this type of transfer.
If this is a rollover so you need to report it on your tax return but it will not be included in your taxable income. ("ROLLOVER" will appear on your tax return under the amount.) If the coding is G, then you may not get the question about what did you do with your distribution. This is usually asked for box 7 codes 1, 2 or 7.
Because you received a 1099-R, the IRS will also have received a copy of this 1099-R. You will need to report this 1099-R distribution on your tax return but none of it will be taxable. If you are asked questions in TurboTax about this 1099-R distribution after you have entered it, then just make sure that when you are reporting this information into TurboTax that for the question "What Did You Do With The Money From (your retirement fund)?", answer "I moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account)" (see screenshot)
