A 1099-R with a code G in box 7 is always a rollover to a Traditional IRA unless it was rolled (converted) to a 401(k) Roth or a Roth IRA. If neither of those then the only remaining possibility is a Traditional IRA so asking is not necessary.
A Traditional IRA rollover is not taxable, but a Roth conversion is.
It will show as income on the summary screen which shows gross income, not taxable income.
The income will be reported on line 15a or 16a on the 1040 form (depending on the type of account) with the word “ROLLOVER” next to it if it was a rollover.
The taxable amount will go on line 15b or 16b. In the case of a rollover, that amount will be zero.
lines 11a/b and 12a/b if 1040A form
