Client received 1099R, closed out her 401K, was taxed, then took the remaining money and rolled it 

over into a Roth IRA. My question is the remaining money that was rolled over into the Roth, was she 

supposed to get a 1099R for that?  She received a form 5498, showing the money that was rolled over.  

I am lost as to where I enter the amount that was rolled over

Putting money from a 401K into a Roth would be a taxable event and a 1099R would have been issued for that distribution.

Or did it roll from a Roth 401K into a Roth IRA?  that would be different.

401k rolled into Roth.....as @Just-Lisa-Now- explained is taxable and no rollover info would be needed other than the 5498 stating it was rolled.
