A code 7 is a normal distribution if you are age 59 1/12 or older. There is no code for a RMD and nothing on a 1099-R indicates an RMD whatsoever. Since a RMD can be satisfied from any IRA account that you have the IRA custodial that issued the 1099-R would not know if it was a RMD or not. In fact, nothing about a RMD goes on a tax return at all other than a penalty for failing to take it.
