Thank you! I took the steps you outlined and am landing on a page that is erroneously stating the following: 

No Early Retirement Withdrawals
There's no extra tax to pay because you took no withdrawals from a retirement account before retirement age. Learn More

This is after I already completed a 1099-R for this year where I declared the early withdrawal that necessitated Form 5329. Any idea how to navigate this?

Were you under age 59 1/2 when the distribution took place?  Was the distribution from an IRA or from a pension or annuity?

When you entered the distribution from the retirement plan on the Form 1099-R, did you indicate that the distribution was from an IRA by checking the box labeled IRA/SEP/SIMPLE?

If it was an early withdrawal you should have been presented with a series of questions after completing the 1099-R where you would have been asked about exceptions to the 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Go back to the section for a Form 1099-R and check your entries.

Solved my own question above. Adding the resolution here for anyone else who may run into it:

I had to go back to the 1099-R form and change my answer to this question: Do any of these situations apply to you?

I had previously selected none of the above. Instead, I picked "I took out this money due to a qualified disaster". Then, when completing Form 5329, Turbo Tax allowed me to pick my "disaster" from a list of options that included everything the IRS considers a qualifying event.
