The 1099-R doesn't indicate that the distribution was a
rollover, except when it's a direct transfer. You report the
full distribution and that $0 of the distribution is taxable
on your 2006 return. Nothing is reported on your 2007
return. The IRS will get "confirmation" of the rollover from
the 5498 filed by the IRA custodians.
