Entering 1099R - Box 7 code "BG" does not exist in TurboTax

Hi,

 

I have three 1099R's to enter on TurboTax; each with different codes for box 7. One is E, one is G, and one is BG. I don't see the latter listed as an option in the dropdown menu. What should I put here?

 

These are for rollovers of my 401K and Roth 401k accounts when I switched employers.

 

Thanks

    On your form 1099-R, BG is the combination of two codes.

     

    You can have up to two distribution codes in box 7. If you see more than one letter or number in box 7, check the box I have more than one value in box 7 and another box 7 will appear to enter the second code. The order doesn’t matter, we’ll make sure you get the right results either way.
