Where do I enter my Traditional IRA rollover information that came from my 401(k) distribution?

Why does it look like I received the distribution as income?

 If you are looking at a summary screen or review screen those show the full amount as income and lump a lot of stuff together. You need to check the actual 1040 form and make sure it's right.   Taxable amount should be 0 on line 5b with the word ROLLOVER by it.  Was any withholding taken out?  What code is in box 7 on the 1099R?

Box 7 has "G". It was a direct rollover from my 401(k) into a Traditional IRA, but it was done automatically by my old employer, so I didn't receive any payments.

OK, so what is on 1040 line 5a and 5b?  Code G is a direct transfer and not taxable.  Or where is it showing up?

Just enter the 1099-R exactly as you see, with the G.   Direct Rollovers are not taxable to you.  You should see the full amount on Line 4a but the taxable amount $0, should be on 5b.
