How do you report your annuity on federal taxes when it went directly from IRA account into AIG annuity?

A rollover occurs when you withdraw from one retirement plan and transfer all or part of that amount, within 60 days, to another retirement plan. You will receive Form 1099-R (Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, etc.) from the holder of your IRA account.

Refer to Form 1099-R in filling out your tax return. On Form 1040, you enter the rollover amount on line 15a (IRA distributions). Next to 15b write Rollover. If the total amount of the IRA was rolled over into the annuity, then enter 0 on line 15b.
