Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

If I rolled over a traditional 401(k) into a Roth 401(k), is the correct 1099-R code "G?" If not, which is the correct code to indicate this should be taxed?

Code "G" only seems to apply to rollovers between accounts of the same type. This is a rollover, but also a conversion from a traditional into a Roth account, so I know I will need to pay income taxes on the amount. Please help!

No, Code G is for a direct rollover of a distribution to a qualified plan, a section 403(b) plan, a governmental section 457(b) plan, or an IRA.  You will want to enter the 1099-R as you received it because this is what is reported to the IRS.  In TurboTax there will be a follow up question so that you can indicate the conversion.  (See below)

Thanks Mary!  To clarify, if the 1099-R lists code G, I shouldn't change it?  And with respect to the follow-up question, which of those options would apply?  I don't see an option for conversion to a Roth 401(k).  Thanks again!

Correct, you do not want to make any changes to the 1099-R entry, but look for the screen below, here is where you will want to put the New York state indicator. @shannon-thielen394
