Retirement tax questions
It is almost certainly incorrect to put an amount in the IRS levy box. If the IRS did not take money directly from your IRA, it is not a levy and does not qualify for the levy exception to the early distribution penalty.
It is extremely unusual for the levy exception to be correct on a Form 5329 because the payer would normally use code 2 to report a levy that occurred before you 59½, eliminating the need to report the levy exception yourself.
