Domestic abuse victim withdrawal

Hi. I need to take a 401k withdrawal under the domestic abuse victim option. I am not sure if I will be divorced by the end of 2025 tax season and still may need to file 2025 taxes as married filing jointly. I do not want my husband to know I took this type of withdrawal, he will be furious. Will this be coded as a regular early withdrawal from my 401k on the 1099r or will it be coded as something different that he can look up the code and see it is domestic violence related? 

 

I am not looking to be judged. I just need to keep this info away from him because I cannot handle him blowing up about it.  Thank you in advance.
