Roth Distribution Attributable to Being Disabled--Erroneous 1099-R Code J

Issue is about reportable income from earnings.  Not the 10% penalty.

 

Roth IRA distribution are considered qualified if "attributable to the individual’s being disabled", subject to the 5 year exclusion period.

 

So amount should not be included on line 19 of 8606 ("total nonqualified distributions").

 

But Vanguard doesn't know of the disability, and reported code J on the 1099-R.

 

And TurboTax includes the amount on line 19 of form 8606.

 

Am I missing something in Turbo Tax, or do I need to try to get Vanguard to amend the code?  I question whether they'll do that, because disability determination isn't exactly the bank's responsibility.

 

TurboTax handles the penalty exception.  That's not my issue.
