Does a rollover count as a contribution? I rolled over money from a 401k to a traditional IRA.

No.  A rollover is not a contribution to the IRA.

No, a rollover doesn't count as an IRA contribution.

 

If you have code G in box 7, indicating a direct rollover, then please see these steps:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”  
  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  3. Enter the information from your 1099-R and click "Continue"
  4. On the "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" screen answer "No"
  5. On the "Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?" screen answer "No"

 

Please see Where do I enter an IRA rollover? if the code in box 7 doesn't indicate a direct rollover.
