Surrender Cash Value Life Insurance

I surrendered a cash value life insurance policy in 2023. I received a 1099-R with box 7 code of 1D. I am confused because I bought the policy with after-tax money, it is not a retirement account. If I enter the code 1 in the first box of turbo tax and D in the second box, it appears I am incurring an additional 10% tax (penalty). That doesn't seem correct. My gut tells me to enter only D in the first box and leave the second box empty. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
