457b Rollover and 1099-R reporting

When I retired from my govt. service in January 2015, the retirement funds were rolled over to 457b in March 2015 and I received a 1099-R for the entire amount with distribution code G. I rolled over the whole amount (Trustee to Trustee) from the plan administrator of 457b to another qualified plan (Annuity) in October of 2015 and I received a 1099-R for that also with code letter G. Do I have to report both on 1040 line 12a? My concern is, when I report both1099-R, line 12a of 1040A shows the sum of both transactions,which is double the amount of what I have in my retirement funds.



You must report them both on 12a, but you will enter “rollover” on the line next to 12b. 12b will not show any taxable amount. Showing “rollover” is the key.
