We took money out of my husbands retirement account through his employer to use as a downpayment for our first home purchase in 2019. Is that consider other reason?

My 1099-R Just lists gross distribution and taxable amount...

If you did an early withdrawal rather than a loan from a 401-k that withdrawal is subject to income tax as well as a 10% penalty.  Up to $10,000 can be withdrawn from a traditional IRA for the purchase of a first home without penalty but the withdrawal will be taxed as income. 

[Opus 17]

Even though IRAs and 401(k)s are similar, they are controlled by different sections of the tax code.  All withdrawals from a 401(k) are always subject to regular income tax and any withdrawal before age 59-1/2 (or age 55 if you are separated from service) is subject to the 10% penalty.  There is no exception for buying a home.
