Retirement tax questions
The column for cost basis on your Roth IRA statement just indicates the purchase price of the current investments. It's not useful as an indication of Roth IRA contribution or conversion basis. Since your Roth IRAs are fully qualified, it's unlikely that you'll ever need to know your Roth IRA contribution and conversion basis.
You should be able to split the code 7 Form 1099-R and indicate for each that you moved the money to another retirement account. For the portion moved to Roth I think that you need to indicate that you did a combination and then just indicate that the entire amount being entered on the that 1099-R was converted to Roth.
On the code 7 Form 1099-R there should have been tax withholding, so you shouldn't substitute code G for code 7 since the details of Forms 1099-R with tax withholding are included in your e-filing.
