Contributions made to a Roth IRA would be "after tax" contributions.  

Your Form 1099-R should be entered as shown unless you have reason to believe that it is incorrect.  

You should contact Principal if you believe your Form 1099-R has been improperly coded.

there is no such checkbox.

it cannot be 100% tax free because a Traditional IRA distribution or conversion always has a basis fractional part and a taxable fractional part as calculated on Form 8606.

if your IRA is all non-deductible contributions

you can avoid tax if your IRA has dropped in value below that amount.
