I noticed that each line has a different fund name on it. Is it possible they did this rather than send three 1099-R forms?
basically box 1 has 3 lines and 3 different numbers. Box 2(a) has 3 lines and those amounts match the number in the corresponding line for box 1. 

It's like I have three 1099-Rs on one form.


There are a couple of financial institutions that assign a different account number to each fund and list them seperartely that way - most financial institution only provide the total amount in box 1 and 2a.    It is OK for you to just add the amounts and enter the total into box 1 and 2a.

 

(If you had 15 funds there could be 15 lines and you don't want to enter 15 1099-R's)
