Retirement tax questions

The amount in box 2a is most definitely not correct on my 1099-R, and this page on my broker's site says they commonly do this:  https://www.betterment.com/resources/common-tax-form-questions/#16  

 

The 1099-R is for excess contributions withdrawn, and boxes 1 and 2a have the same value. 

 

Can you help?


What code is in box 7?

In what year did you make the contribution?

In what year was it returned?
