Yes, you do have the opportunity to indicate that when you enter your 1099-R. 

  1. After the 1099-R has been entered, there are some follow up screens that ensue.
  2. The second follow up screen should ask What Did You Do With the Money From This Payer?
  3. Here is where you will check the box that says I Moved the Money to Another Retirement Account.
  4. This is what that screen looks like.

A 5498 does not go on a tax return.  Just enter the 1099-R and say you "moved" the money and was all rolled over.   That will put it on the 1040 line 4a with the word ROLLOVER next to it.
