I received a distribution under the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008 . Under this act I can withdraw tax free. How do I handle the 1099 I received?

A qualified reservist distribution only penalty free, not tax free.  When asked if any of the listed situations apply, indicate the amount that was distributed due to being a reservist serving on active duty for at least 180 days.
