    A properly done trustee-to-trustee transfer (including within a single trustee) where the funds are never made payable to you is neither a distribution nor a rollover.  Because it is neither a distribution nor a rollover, a trustee-to-trustee transfer is not reportable on your tax return, and does not involve the one-rollover-per year limitation.
