Rollovers to an IRA are accounted for by entering the Form 1099-R reporting the distribution from the other account. A rollover is not considered to be a contribution to the IRA.

Go to the Deductions and Credits > Retirement and Investments > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section of your return and be sure that only contributions that you made yourself have been entered in this section.
