Question

3 months of my pension were paid out before Age 59 1/2, and 9 months after 59 1/2. Do I check "early withdrawal" or "not early withdrawal"? There's no "both" category.

    @michaelmwhitehead 

     

    For my pension, the provider issued two separate 1099-R forms.

     

    1) One for the time before age 59.5 with a code 2 in box 7   (that's for an exception to the early withdrawal).  Should be no penalty if you answer the follow-up questions properly.

    and

    2) a second one with a code 7 in box 7......for the months after age 59.5.
