Skip the W2 section.  Say NO you don't have any W2s.  Find the 1099R section here,

 

Enter a 1099R under
Federal Taxes on left
Wages & Income at the top
Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) – Click Start
Don't type the bank name or try to import it.
At the bottom pick - Change How I enter my Form
Then on the next screen pick - I'll Type it in Myself
If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.
Next screen is Who gave you a 1099R? Pick the right box.
