Your code in box 7 indicates that the distribution was from a Roth IRA. If you are under 59 1/2 you will have code J in box 7.  You can withdraw contributions you made to your Roth IRA anytime, tax- and penalty-free. Please make sure you enter your net contributions prior to 2024 in the follow-up questions.

Please note if you withdraw earnings from the Roth IRA then these will be taxed at your tax rate plus the 10% penalty.  The distribution from the traditional IRA is taxed at your tax rate plus the 10% early withdrawal penalty. Therefore, your withholdings might not cover all of the tax due depending on your tax bracket.
