Do I pay tax on rollover IRA? Got 1099-R & 5498, but TT says higher tax & penalty for early w/d & doesn't ask about rollover. Says don't enter info from 5498.

As you go through the IRA section of the program it will ask you "What Did You Do With The Money From [Retirement Plan]"? Be sure you indicate that you "rolled over all of this money to an IRA or other retirement account (or returned it to the same account)."
