You can't ignore it. Enter the rollover amount in line 15a. It does
not affect your taxable income. Evidently you are supposed to type in
"Rollover" next to line 15b, although I can't find the space to do
it. And line 15b would be 0.

I just pulled up my (05) taxes, which is when my lump-sum pension was
given to me. Just as the mod (can't be sure who) stated "The IRS asks
you to add the 1099R Gross Distribution amount to Form 1040 Line 16a,
and add nothing to line 16b. At the left of Line 16 write the word
Rollover."

16a = Pensions and Annuities
16b = Taxable amount (see instrs)
Turbotax, in my case, took the explanation "rollover" and put that to
the left of 16a, in the margin.

PLEASE take the minute or two necessary to confirm our esteemed Moderator's
correct response in the instructions for Line 16 of the 1040. After all,
it's your taxes, not his, and one can read all sorts of "absolutely true"
statements about taxes that are anything but.

A quick question for the better educated; thank you for saving me some
research time.

I received a form 1099-R for a 401k distribution.
I left the company; it was rolled straight to another company.
Block 7 Distribution Code is 'G'.

Now - can I just completely ignore this on my taxes, or will I find a
place to enter it, and then another place to back it out?

Thanks!

The IRS asks you to add the 1099R Gross Distribution amount to
Form 1040 Line 16a, and add nothing to line 16b. At the left of Line 16
write the word Rollover. That's it. Simple?
