    Box 2a shows the portion of the distribution which is generally taxable. If there is no entry in this box, the taxable amount was not determined by the payer and it will have to be determined by the taxpayer.  If you have a code 7 in Box 7, then you have a normal, non-taxable Roth IRA distribution.  Not only would it be nontaxable for federal, but also for state.

    Thanks for the help.  Number 7 on the 1099R has a code T.  Can you give me info about how that may affect reporting.

    Code T stands for" Roth IRA distribution, exception applies". If you had the Roth IRA for more than 5 years or you used the money where an exception applies then it will be nontaxable. TurboTax will ask questions after you entered the 1099R and determine if the distribution is taxable.
