A distribution code of "G" is used only in certain case:
"Use Code G for a direct rollover from a qualified plan, a section 403(b) plan, or a governmental section 457(b) plan to an eligible retirement plan (another qualified plan, a section 403(b) plan, a governmental section 457(b) plan, or an IRA)." (see 1099-R instructions). NOTE: 401(k) plans are qualified plans.
Was your transaction one of these listed above? If it was and you do not see a code G for the distribution code on your 1099-R, then you will want to contact the plan administrator and ask for a corrected 1099-R. Otherwise, the IRS will wonder why you did not report that income (the IRS gets a copy of the 1099-R as well).
If your transaction/distribution was of another type, come back and tell us what it was.
