I have a distribution code of 1B on my 1099R and TurboTax is not taking the Roth contribution into consideration. Can I just use B as the distribution code?

Did you convert from a IRA to a Roth? No you should enter exactly what's on your form.

Enter the Form 1099-R exactly as received by entering both codes 1 and B.  These two codes together indicate that you made a distribution from a Roth account in a qualified retirement plan before age 59½, not a distribution from a Roth IRA.  On the Form 1099-R, the payer should have indicated the taxable amount in box 2a and the nontaxable portion in box 5.

If any portion was rolled over to another Roth account, indicate that the a some or all of the distribution was rolled over to another retirement account and indicate the amount rolled over.  The taxable amount reported on Form 1040 line 16b or Form 1040A line 12b will be reduced by the amount rolled over (but not to less than zero) and the word ROLLOVER will appear next to the line.

No, for box 7 you should enter code "1" and code "B" if you have both codes on your form. 

After you enter Form 1099-R, answer the questions that follow carefully. Then, once you are back on the summary screen and have entered all form 1099-Rs, be sure to click continue. This is where you'll be asked many relevant questions for taxability. 

If you made contributions this year, be sure to enter them under Deductions & Credits >>> Retirement and Investments >>> Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions.

Turbo Tax is not giving an option at all to select 1B. How am I supposed to show 1B on my form, if in the drop down menu there is no option for it?
