Sounds like you found the place to enter it in the 1099-R section.
Taking $$ before the RMD age is only a mistake if you are under age 59.5 (due to an extra 10% penalty). Any time after that....up until your RMD age...it's up to you as to whether you want or need any $$.
Also, the RMD age for you is likely the year you reach age 73...it was bumped up again.
