IRA Rollover

Question: how to include rollover 401K IRA contributions in tax filing?

Last year I moved my old company 401K funds into a Rollover IRA account with a financial institution. In year 2009, I made some money contributions to this Rollover IRA account and this year I received a Form 5498 with information about IRA contributions and the account value. I am using a tax software and I dont know how to enter this IRA contribution amount into tax software as deduction for tax filing. I didn’t receive 1099- R form because I didnt distribute my funds. I appreciate if you could confirm if I can claim my contributions as deductions in tax filing.
Thank you for your quick response. However, I called my financial institution today and they told me that I don’t receive Form 1099-R for not having done any distributions (basically not removing any money from my rollover IRA account). I dont know what to do at this moment.

Answer: You should of gotten a 1099 R for the rollover becuase techinally you did distribute it however the code listed in box 7 is G. That tells the IRS that it was put into a rollover plan and there are no taxes assessed on the dirtribution. Since you are using a software program you need to check with them about the second part to your question.
