Retirement tax questions

A rollover is taking a distribution and putting it back into a retirement account within 6o days.   If it was a trustee-to-trustee transfer between banks then noting would be reported at all.   If you received a 1099-R for the rollover then you would answer the 1099-R questions that the money was rolled over.  Nothing whatsoever would be entered in the IRA contribution section because a rollover is not a new contribution.
