I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yes, you have to report the 1099-R to the IRS and let them know it is a Rollover. You do this through your income tax return.
Provided you rolled the IRA in a timely matter (within 60 calendar days of withdrawal.), you would enter your 1099-R in the Retirement Plans and Social Security section of TurboTax.
Turbotax will show the distribution on Form 1040 Line 15A (for an IRA) with the word ROLLOVER next to it, and there will be no tax consequence.
