Retirement tax questions

Selecting No is correct.  To correctly treat it as a rollover to a traditional IRA, TurboTax simply needs to know that the rollover was *not* to any type of Roth account.  I didn't realize that your Form 1099-R had code G which already indicates a rollover, so TurboTax will skip the question about what you did with the money.

Regarding "I think I found a way to show that I opened the tradition IRA,"  NO, do NOT report as you described.  Do not do anything but answer No to the Roth questions as I said in the paragraph above.  IF you entered it as you described, go back and remove that entry.  That enter is only for new retirement money going into an IRA, not old retirement (ESOP) money being rolled over.
