Taxpayer withdrew 80,000 from Roth IRA, has owned the account for over 5 years and used the total distribution for purchase of a first home. Where do you enter the exclusion? 1099-R has a code J.

How old is the taxpayer?
Which "exclusion" are you referring to?

Taxpayer is 36. Account has been opened over 5 years. Contributions are not taxed. I read that the withdrawn earnings are both tax- and penalty-free as long as you use them to buy, build, or rebuild a home.

Lisa, it is tax free (up to $10,000).

@twisniewski7 It is a few lines under line 19 of the 1099-R worksheet.

"I read that the withdrawn earnings are both tax- and penalty-free as long as you use them to buy, build, or rebuild a home."
Nope, but it not "up to $10,000" either. That is a life-time maximum, but not the only reason there might not be penalty or income tax.
There are ordering rules: https://www.investopedia.com/retirement/tax-treatment-roth-ira-distributions/
"distributions of Roth IRA assets from regular participant contributions and nontaxable conversions can be taken at any time, tax-free and penalty-free. However, distributions on taxable conversion amounts may be subject to the 10% early distribution penalty. Distributions of earnings that are part of a non-qualified distribution are taxable and may be subject to an additional 10% early-distribution penalty."
"and used the total distribution for purchase of a first home."
"Even if you are under age 59½, you don't have to pay the 10% additional tax on up to $10,000 of distributions you receive to buy, build, or rebuild a first home. To qualify for treatment as a first-time homebuyer distribution, the distribution must meet all the following requirements.
-
It must be used to pay qualified acquisition costs (defined next) before the close of the 120th day after the day you received it.
-
It must be used to pay qualified acquisition costs for the main home of a first-time homebuyer (defined below) who is any of the following."
You would need to look at it step-by-step.
