IRA transfers

[george-brackett]

Should I receive a 1099-r for a transfer from one IRA custodian to another IRA custodian?

Yes, this is a trustee-to-trustee rollover, which is not taxable. But you will receive a form 1099-R from the first custodian.

You'll enter that form in TurboTax and follow through with the TurboTax interview to indicate that this is a rollover to another IRA.

A properly done trustee-to-trustee transfer is neither a distribution nor a rollover is therefore not reportable. There should be no Form 1099-R reporting it a distribution and no entry on a Form 5498 reporting it as a a rollover, nothing to enter into TurboTax.
