How to change box 7 on 1099-R form

My husband took an early distribution from his IRA account.  He falls under the exception for being a public safety employee (firefighter).  But we call the provider and asked them to change box 7 to #2 but they said they couldn't, that we had to consult with our tax advisor.  How can I get the 1099-R updated to the correct code?
