Check record on-line with account custodian(s). Lacking that, won't matter much if you can (eventually) prove first time was at least five years ago ...

The issuer of the 1099-R enters that on the form if this is a 1099-R for a designated Roth and the box 7 code indicated a designated Roth (code B or H).   Enter what the form you received has or blank of no entry on your 1099-R.
