1099-R coded J, early distribution because he turns 59 1/2 in 2019. Just the 10% penalty? asking if it is a QUALIFIED distribution...What would make it qualified?

Publication 590b:

What Are Qualified Distributions?

A qualified distribution is any payment or distribution from your Roth IRA that meets the following requirements.

1. It is made after the 5-year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA set up for your benefit, and
2. The payment or distribution is:
   1. Made on or after the date you reach age 59½,
   2. Made because you are disabled (defined earlier),
   3. Made to a beneficiary or to your estate after your death, or
   4. One that meets the requirements listed under First home under Exceptions in chapter 1 (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit).

Its probably got a pink error on the IRA worksheet somewhere wanting a box to be marked asking when the Roth was opened (or something to that effect), right?

What about a return of a ROTH contribution coded J. How do I get it to show as non-taxable?
