Why is 401K rollover not showing on Tax Schedule Report

I rolled my former 401K to IRA in April 2019. Now working on my taxes and the Tax Schedule Report is not showing up. I was only tracking cash balances in the 401K account. That account was set up as a tax deferred investment account. Transfers out from this account are to be reported as 1099-R pension gross distribution. Used 'Withdraw' action to transfer cash balance to new IRA investment account. Tax Schedule report is not showing this withdrawal.

Quickens's tax reports exclude tax deferred accounts and thus do not "see" transfers between them.
A rollover from a 401(k) to a traditional IRA should not be taxable, so having the gross distribution show up on the tax report would not affect your tax liability.
If this was a Roth conversion, which is taxable, one way to get the distribution to appear on the tax reports would be to record it in Quicken as transferred to a taxable account followed by a transfer to the Roth.
If you think Quicken should have better support for this type of transaction, please consider voting on this product idea post

I agree a rollover is not taxable. But an entry should appear on report for the transfer out and transfer in to show the 'wash' of the 1099-R and 5498 forms.
Quicken sees the transfers between the 2 accounts but chooses not to report, possibly because it is a wash. Maybe Quicken should leave the choice with the user and give us an option as to whether to report or not.
Thanks for the reply.0
