Retirement tax questions

@brookeb2 What type of plan do you have?

You should enter the code 1 in box 7 of the Form 1099-R.  After entering the information from the 1099-R there will be a series of screens for you to complete.  Eventually you will come to a screen labeled These Situations May Lower Your Tax Bill.  Enter the $5000 amount in the box labeled Other Reason and continue.  The 10% early distribution penalty will be removed.  However, if the distribution was over $5,000 any remaining distribution over $5,000 is still subject to the early distribution penalty.
