Retirement tax questions

No.  It's fine.  It says that Code #1 (of 2 possible codes) is 8.  There is no second code, no code 1.  If there was also a code 1 it would say:

 

Distribution Code 1:  1

Distribution Code 2:  8

 

(or vice versa)

 

Payers who use substitute forms that do not conform to the format of the actual IRS Form 1099-R often create such confusion.
