Question

why does box 7 on the distribution codes not have the letter X?

box seven is missing the letter x for the distribution codes?

Because the IRS does not have a code X for entry in box 7 of a Form 1099-R. The X you are referring to probably is for indicating the distribution was from a IRA/SEP/SIMPLE account.

Not aware that there is supposed to be one.

Are you sure the "X" isn't supposed to be a simple click you make in the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box close to the box 7 codes...but not really a part of box 7?
