If your pension distribution was transferred to another IRA within sixty days as a qualifying rollover, you should indicate in TurboTax that you rolled the funds over to another retirement account.  You will see a screen after you enter your Form 1099-R that says What Did you Do With The Money from (name of pension), to which you answer I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out the money:

What code is in box 7?  It may already know it was transferred or rolled over.

On 1099R Box 1 is 100K;  Box 2a is 100k;  Box 2b is checked; Box7 is a 7; IRA/SEP/Simple box is checked. The 100K is the gross amount before returning 75K to the IRA Rollover account.

It sounds like your software may need an update to ensure the amounts are pulled into the forms correctly.  I just did a test based upon your numbers and I am able to access the screen as ThomasM125 provided above.  I was able to enter the information you have provided and indicate a portion was rolled over.  

 

To update your program, log into your desktop product.  Select Online in the menu on the top, and then select Check for Updates.

 

 

If that does not update your program, you can also manually update your program.

 

Then, go back to your 1099-R input and select edit to the right of the applicable 1099-R.  Review your input on each screen until you see the screen titled "what did you do with the money from xxx?"

 

On this screen, be sure to select the following options:

  • XX moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account).
  • XX did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out the money.
  • The next option will ask you how much of the money was moved to an IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account.  Be sure to enter the amount that was rolled over in this section.
