1099R

[Tipperary]

I pulled money out of my pention in 2020 because of lack of work. I thought that if it was a "Coronavirus-Related Distribution" there would not be the 10% penality?? On my 1099-R in box 7, they marked #1 which is a early distribution and it shows a 10% penality. I don't see a option for covid relief. Please advise.

Will Turbo Tax have a update when this form is available? And should I wait  assuming that this will be available before the tax deadline?

I saw a checkbox for taking a distribution related to covid hardship.  It was a screen or two past the 1099-R submission / confirmation
