This is a rollover from my ex-employer's 401k to a Roth IRA. They mailed the checks to me and I deposited them to a Roth IRA. I was told that this is a not taxable event, but the 1099R box 2a taxable has same amount as box 1. Box 2b has Total Distribution. Box 7 has G. IRA/SEP/SIMPLE is not checked. In TurboTax, if I answer no to Roth, I don't get taxed. Do I need to get the Payer to correct box 2a to zero (0)? Is it ok to answer no to Roth? How do I get this done correctly to reflect this as a non-taxable rollover from 401k to Roth IRA?
