Retirement tax questions
@sginco , you seem to be describing an In-Plan Roth Rollover, not a Roth conversion. An IRR is a taxable rollover from the traditional account in a 401(k) plan to the designated Roth account in the same 401(k) plan. This is reported on Form 1099-R with the gross amount in box 1, the taxable amount in box 2a, any after-tax basis in box 5, code G in box 7 and the IRS/SEP/SIMPLE box not marked.
If this was truly a Roth conversion from an IRA, the Form 1099-R would be different and would have the IRS/SEP/SIMPLE box marked. However, since you imported your 1099-R from Fidelity, it seems likely that this is indeed an IRR as described above.
It's also possible for do a direct rollover from a traditional account in a 401(k) to a Roth IRA. The Form 1099-R would be the same as for the IRR case, but you would indicate that the rollover went to a Roth IRA (the second question) instead of indicating that the rollover went to the designated Roth account in the plan (the first question).
