I am an American living overseas and emptied out my 401k in 2024. I received form 1042-S, income code 15. How should I enter the info in turbotax?

I no longer have a US adress, which is why I received this tax form instead of a 1099-R. I also took the money out early, so I should have an additional penalty.
