I am a newly retired public safety officer. I have made withdrawals from my qualified retirement account (like a 401k), even though I am younger than 50. Because I have 25 or more years of service, I should have an exception to the early withdrawal penalty of 10%. My qualified retirement account servicer put the wrong distribution code in box 7 of my 1099-R (they put down 1, but should be a 2 to reflect I qualify for the exception). While I am attempting to have it corrected, I can also file a Form 5329 to reflect my exception (Exception #1 per the instructions) to the penalty. However, TurboTax is not recognizing that I qualify for the exception for having 25 years of service and is not calculating it correctly. None of the questions relate to Public Safety Officer years of service. How do I fix this so I can file the 5329 correctly and not be held to the 10% penalty?
