Incorrect 1099r

[Khenry85]

I received my 1099 r and its incorrect. They have it as a 1 in the distrubtion code. Yes i am under 59 1/2, however i am perm disabled and receiving ssi. I called fidelity and they said i had to send letter of instruction and proof (which i did) now they are saying its up to me to change the change the code. Im not understanding. Because they issued it why cant they make the correction. How do i proceed as id like to file my taxes. I do it online myself.
