Retirement tax questions

It seems that the 401(k) administrator did not realize that you were doing a rollover from your 401(k) to a traditional IRA, so the administrator should not have used distribution code G. 

 

If the box 7 code were 7, then you would have seen that "What did you do with the money" question that David referred to.

 

Call your administrator and ask why they used code G instead of 7. Maybe they misunderstood what you were doing, and maybe they will issue a corrected 1099-R.
