Hi, a client made after-tax contributions to a 401k in 2022 and conducted a direct rollover to a Roth IRA. After inputting the 1099-R, how can I get line 5b of the 1040 to show "Rollover"? I double checked that distribution code G was entered.

Hi George: the only distribution code in the 1099R is G.
