Not sure
....I've worked thru the form Q&A 6 ways from Sunday for a 55 year old, and I can't get the penalty to show up unless I have a Code 1 in box 7 (which it wouldn't be for a normal Military retirement, even if under 59.5....might also happen in certain situations if you accidentally checked "IRA/SEP/Simple" box in the main form. )

You really have that 2020 military 1099-R form already ? Don't wing it, wait for the form and enter it carefully.
AND....If you get a question in the follow-up pages about whether it is a Qualified, or Non-qualified retirement plan.....Military 1099-R forms are for Non-qualified plans.
