While doing my taxes yesterday, I noticed that Vanguard reported that a dividend I received was marked as an early distribution subject to the 10% penalty. My 59th birthday was the first part of December 2017 and the dividend was received in the latter part of June 2018. Why would it be considered an early distribution if I was 59.5 years old plus approx 20 days? Is this simply a mistake on VG's part and if so, do I call them to correct it and send me a new tax form?
