Retirement tax questions

Yes, the $500 that was rolled into a Roth IRA would be taxable income.  

 

A traditional 401k implies that the money that was contributed is pre-tax money.  When pre-tax money is rolled into a Roth IRA, then the amount rolled over becomes taxable since Roth accounts are funded with after-tax money.  You do not need to request a corrected 1099-R.
