You had what is called "constructive receipt" of the money because the way it was distributed from the 401(k) it placed the money under your control outside of a retirement account whether or not you had physical possession of the money. Because you had constructive receipt, it does not qualify as a direct rollover and cannot have been reported with code G on the Form 1099-R. As others have said, since you completed the indirect rollover by the deadline, entering the code-7 Form 1099-R and indicating that you rolled over the entire gross amount produces exactly the same result on Form 1040 as you would have gotten had the rollover instead been a direct rollover.
