My wife left a job and got a 1099-R form with a Gross Distribution of $4081.46.  The distribution code  was "G" (Direct rollover and rollover contribution).  They left the IRA/SEP/Simple box blank.  She also received a 5498 with a rollover contribution of $4081.46.  Turbotax asked me several times if the IRA/SEP/Simple  box was checked.  Was this a mistake on the part of the the payer and will it cause us problems when we file?

    The 1099-R is correct. For a rollover of a 401(k) account, the box IRA/SEP/Simple must be left blank.
