If a taxpayer receives a 401k distribution and rolls it over without the institutions help what form do they submit to the IRS so as not to be tax and penalized?

You will receive a Form 1099-R from the 401k administrator.
Just enter the amount of the distribution (taken from the 1099-R) on line 16a of your Form 1040 and enter the amount you DIDN'T roll over on line 16b. If you rolled it all over, enter 0 on 16b. Write the word ROLLEVER on the dotted line next to line 16a. That's all.
Keep your receipt/account statement from the account that received the rollover. If you rolled it over to an IRA, in May of the following year you will receive a Form 5498 from the IRA administrator showing all of your contributions for the previous year, including the rollover. Hang onto this form, too.
One warning: When you took the distribution from your 401k, they probably withheld 20% for federal taxes and possibly an additional amount for state taxes. You have to replace the withheld amounts from your own pocket in order to avoid tax/penalties.
For example, let's you took a distribution of $10,000. They withheld $2000 and gave you a check for $8000. To complete the rollover, you must deposit $10,000 -- not $8000 -- into an IRA or another 401k. If you only deposit $8,000, you will have to pay tax and penalties on the remaining $2000.
Withholding will be shown on your 1099-R. Remember to add the withholding to your other withholding when filling out Form 1040.
