My 50 yr old client took money out of his IRA in 2020.  The code was 1 so the software generated the 10% penalty.  Aren't 2020 withdrawals supposed to be penalty free?  How do I undo the penalty?

Did he take it out because of COVID related issues or because he wanted to by an awesome new moped?

@callmefreud  If it is covid related, scroll down on the 1099r worksheet to the section on Qualified disaster section

Go to form 5329 and use "other" as the exception.

Here is your Help article:

It's all in the 1099-R worksheet, including the indication that this is a disaster distribution.

If withdrawal was Corona Virus related,

select Box showing that it is Corona Virus Related in Form 1099R worksheet.
