Can I bypass box 7 distribution code is blank on the 1099-R form

Couldn't import form and box 7 has nothing marked in it so I can't continue.  It's from the Delta Master Retiremetn Trust.

No.  A box 7 distribution code is REQUIRED.   There is no way to know how to treat the income without the code.  Look closely at the form - some times it is easy to confuse code "7" with the box number "7" if the code was printed slightly outside the box.

 

  Contact the issuer for a corrected 1099-R.

You cannot import unless the payer has applied to be a TurboTax partner.
