how do I file form 5498 with my taxes to show I retuned money to my IRA and should not pay tax on it?

Form 5498 is not filed with your tax return.  It is filed by the IRA trustee or issuer.  For more information on Form 5498, please see:  What Is IRS Form 5498: IRA Contributions Information?

If you rolled over the distribution to a traditional IRA, the distribution should not be taxable.  If you rolled over the 401k distribution to a Roth IRA, the distribution will be taxable.  If you took the funds out yourself and then redeposited them into the IRA, make sure you indicate this in TurboTax.

To enter your 1099-R or review your 1099-R entries please follow these steps:

1. Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
2. Scroll down to the Retirement Plans and Social Security section and click on the Start/Revisit box next to IRA, 4701(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R). 
3. If you've already entered one (or more) 1099-Rs, you will see a screen Your1099-R Entries.  Click on the Edit link next to the 1099-R you wish to review.   
4. If you haven't already entered a 1099-R, you will see the screen, Your 1099-R. Click Yes and then Continue. 
5. You can either import your 1099-R or click on the I'll type it in myself box.   
6. If you select to enter the information yourself, continue through the screens, answering the interview questions.
7. A few screens after the 1099-R input screen, you should see a screen, What Did You Do With The Money From 401k institution?  Mark the radio button next to I moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account).  
8. Below the grey line, click the radio button next to I rolled over all of this money to an IRA or other retirement account (or returned it to the same account).  Click Continue.

If you are 70 1/2 or older and this distribution was originally a RMD then check the box that says "none of this distribution was a RMD" or you cannot roll it over.
