Since this is foreign income entering it as a substitute 1099-R or as 'Other Income' actually won't make any difference to how much you are taxed. It also won't change your ability to claim the foreign tax credit if you paid any foreign taxes on this income. So the 'Other Income' route is just faster and easier.
