401K to Traditional IRA rollover

I rolled my 401K over to a traditional IRA and received a 1099-R.  Do I need to include the gross distribution as income even though I didn't withdraw anything?  The 1099-R is showing the amount I rolled over in the Gross Distribution and shows 0 in the taxable amount and 0 in the federal income tax withheld.

    Yes, you will have to enter the 1099-R into TurboTax but a rollover won't be included in your taxable income. 

     

    1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
    2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
    3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
    4. Answer all follow-up questions carefully.

     

    You can verify your entry by looking at line 5b (taxable amount) it should be $0 ( if this was your only distribution).

    Thank you so much for your reply.  I was concerned when I saw what it put in for my income as that was money that was not received, therefore in my head should not be considered income yet.  I appreciate your response!
