My 1099-R has distribution code 1 in box 7, but was payment to escrow account, down payment on first time home purchase for under 10k. Request revised or something else?

Is it from an IRA?  It's right.  You do owe tax on it.  But you just avoid the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty for buying a house.   After you enter the 1099R it will ask if you have an exception to the penalty. Just keep going.   It has to be from a IRA.  You can't get that exception from a 401K plan.

The payer will generally use distribution code 1 if the participant has not reached age 59½, even if the distribution is made for certain expenses that may qualify for an exception to the additional 10% tax on early withdrawals such as medical expenses, health insurance premiums, qualified higher education expenses, or a first-time home purchase.

Enter Form 1099-R in TurboTax exactly as it appears. Then, as VolvoGirl mentioned above, answer all of the follow-up questions in TurboTax that are asked in order to determine whether you meet an exception to the additional 10% tax. The distribution itself is taxable income as shown on your form. 

See this TurboTax help article for more information about exceptions to the early distribution "penalty" additional tax.
