The codes for the 1099-R form are usually printed on the back of the form.
You have a problem here that the tax software will ask you about.
Who sent this to you? The employer's 401k custodian or Millenium? That's probably who you should be talking to.
If your wife needs to do a Backdoor Roth, you probably also need to do one (because you both share the same MAGI). Do you have any pre-tax money in any IRA?
And don't forget that you're likely looking at taxes on her $9,000 Roth conversions for 2024 (and a possible penalty).
Code "2" means she was younger than 59.5. The tax software (and IRS) will then ask where the money went. If it didn't go into another retirement account, it would all be taxed, plus an early withdrawal penalty would apply. You look good here, at least on the tax form (after you figure out if the original contribution was pre-tax or post-tax).For my wife's Roth IRA account, there were 2 activities:
1. ~$6000 from her tIRA to her Roth IRA
From Vanguard 2024 1099-R, 2a Taxable ~6000, 2b, both Taxable amount not determined and Total distribution checked, 7. distribution code 2, IRA/SEP/SIMPLE checked.
Code "G" means Prohibited transaction2. ~3000 rollover from her 401k to her Roth IRA
From the 2024 1099-R, 2a Taxable ~$3000, 2b not checked, 7, distribution code G

Although you could do a backdoor Roth, I think there are too many chances something will go wrong for you (as seen in the other two problems you have). I don't have confidence in your use of terminology yet and your understanding of tax implications. It takes time to get used to these and you definitely first need to understand our Backdoor Roth wiki page as well as fill out a paper copy of Form 8606 (by hand) to test if you understand the entire process.My question is, while I am looking into both activities, can I still do a back-door Roth conversion to contribute $7000 into her Roth IRA for 2024, prior to filing tax return in April, since we still have some free money?
