Retirement tax questions

 

 

Hi would like to provide updates.

My 1099-R is not  USA or foreign  retirement fund. Its an term insurance (foreign located and does not provide 1099-R) that had cash surrender value that  matured after 20 years this year (paid premium 10 years)

I am hearing from one CPA that this fund should not be subject to early penalty of 10% as its not  early withdrawal and we should write a letter alongwith tax filing  that it should not be treated as early withdrawal.

That being said what should be the option / distribution code I should use in manual 1099-R
