Yes. And you only had 60 days to return it or roll it to a new account. So it may be considered a distribution and taxable.

The easiest way to get to the 1099-R entry screen is to simply search for 1099-R (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) in your TurboTax program and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

Enter a 1099R under

Federal Taxes on the left side

Wages & Income at the top

Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security,

Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099R) - click Start or Revisit

If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.

VolvoGirl is right that your distribution may be taxable.

However, even if it is not, you need to enter the 1099-R into TurboTax because the IRS was sent a copy of the 1099-R, and if this does not show up on your return, the IRS will be puzzled (and probably send you a letter about their puzzlement).

Enter the 1099-R into TurboTax and answer the questions as VolvoGirl indicated.
