According to the IRS, one distribution per calendar year may be excluded from the early withdrawal penalty "for personal or family emergency expenses, up to the lesser of $1,000 or vested account balance over $1,000 (made after 12/31/2023)."
So you would not be able to exclude your entire early distribution penalty, but this exception could reduce it.
As mentioned by MarilynG, after you have entered your Form 1099-R there will be a list of possible exceptions to the early distribution penalty.
