Retirement tax questions
"There is no Form 8606 created (I thought it was required)."
This implies that you did not enter a nondeductible traditional IRA contribution, otherwise TurboTax would have prepared Form 8606 Part I. This also implies that you did not indicate that the traditional IRA distribution was converted to Roth, otherwise TurboTax would have prepared Form 8606 Part II.
Make sure to enter the traditional IRA contribution under Deductions & Credits.
The Form 1099-R and the Forms 5498 that you received are correct. As NCperson said, the Form 1099-R must be entered as received. You are not permitted to change the code to G. When entering this Form 1099-R, indicate that you moved the money to another retirement account, then you can indicate that you did a combination of rolling over, converting and cashing out and indicate that you converted the entire $7,000 to Roth.
Note that if you had other funds traditional IRAs at year end, the Roth conversion will be a pro rata distribution of pre-tax funds and basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions, with the nontaxable and taxable amounts calculated on Form 8606 Part I.
