How do you enter IRA Retirement Fund Transfers from one IRA to another IRA in TurboTax. I have numerous that were transferred to new retirement accounts, but as these are considered transfers you do not get a 1099-R. How/where do I enter this information.

You only enter actual 1099R you get, even for transfers.  If they are direct transfers and  you don't get a 1099R you don't need to report them.

Thank you so much for the answer. We have records of the transfers to new investment account if ever needed, I believe that satisfactory. Once again thank you.

You don't.   A trustee-to-trustee transfer does  not generate a 1099-R and there is nothing to report.
