Retirement tax questions

Box 7 says distribution code and in it is the Letter G. thanks!


A code G is a  direct trustee-to-trustee rollover.  If this was a rollover to a Roth IRA then the box 2a taxable amount should be the same as box 1 less any amount in box 5.

 

If box 2a is zero on the 1099-R then the 401(k) trustee specified that this was a rollover to a Traditional IRA and not a Roth IRA.
