If your IRA was moved by trustee-to-trustee transfer, you have nothing to report.  A trustee-to-trustee transfer of an IRA is neither a distribution nor a rollover, so it is not reportable.  Only if a distribution was made to you that you subsequently rolled over within 60 days would you receive a Form 1099-R that must be entered into TurboTax and reported in the follow-up questions as having been rolled over.

However, you may receive 1 099-R with a Code G which would indicate a trustee to trustee transfer. If you receive one, you should report it.
