1099-R

[MN67]

I have a 1099-R for a distribution, the Gross distribution amount is listed and the box 2b has the Total Distribution marked with the X.  The box 7 has a distribution code of G, no other box has been filled in.  Should the amount in box 1 be treated as taxable income since it is a rollover to another qualified plan?

No.

Code G means Direct rollover of a distribution to a qualified plan, a section 403(b) plan, a governmental section 457(b) plan, or an IRA.

This rollover is not taxable. You have to indicate in TurboTax that it is a rollover to a qualified plan or IRA.
