Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Code G is only for a rollover to or from a qualified retirement plan like a 401(k), not for any movement of funds between IRAs. A proper trustee-to-trustee transfer between like-kind IRAs is not reportable at all.
Since it appears that they have treated the movement of funds from one IRA to another as a distribution, you'll need to get them to correct their records to show it as a trustee-to-trustee transfer as long as the money was made payable to the new IRA instead of made payable to you personally. If the money was made payable to you, giving you constructive receipt of the funds, and you subsequently deposited that money into a new IRA, constituting a rollover, you have a problem because that distribution indeed included your RMD since the first amounts distributed are RMD until the RMD for that account is satisfied and RMDs are not eligible for rollover. Depositing an RMD into another IRA as a rollover constitutes an excess contribution to the receiving IRA and correcting that would require an explicit return of contribution before the due date of your tax return.
To summarize, it appears that you indeed have a situation that needs to be corrected. You should not wait until next year to correct this, do it now. Escalate to the financial institution's back-office IRA personnel.
