Do you have to have a number or letter in box 7 of my 1099?

No one can see your tax return but you.

[DoninGA]

Yes.  Box 7 must have a number or a letter.  If your 1099-R does not then contact your plan administrator for a corrected Form 1099-R.

The most common code is a 7 which is the same as the box number so you might miss it.    Or what kind of 1099 do you have?  Box 7 is on a 1099R.
