457b conversion to Roth IRA, incorrect 1099-R?

In 2021 I separated from an employer and was able to convert a pre-tax 457b to a post-tax Roth IRA.  

 

The Retirement Plan sent the check directly to Vanguard and knew it was a Roth IRA the money was going to.  

 

However they coded my 1099-R with Box 1 "Gross Distribution" as ~$28,000, and my 1099-R box 2a "Taxable Amount" as $0.   

 

I'm I correct in believing they coded the 1099-R wrongly and I need to enter the same ~$28,000 in Turbo Tax in Box 2a of the 1099-R so it is a taxable event?  Is it necessary to have the Retirement Plan servicer re-do my 1099-R correctly stating this is a taxable event?

 

Thanks for your experience and help.
