Box 15 does not require an entry. If there is no entry on your W2, leave it blank.

There are 8 states that do not tax their residents' income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

For W2 - if your state is not listed it doesn't have an income tax. Leave W2 boxes 15,16, & 17 BLANK, empty, no spaces.

For 1099R - If box 14 for state withholding is empty then leave all boxes 14-16 Blank. If box 14 has an amount and box 16 is blank put in the amount from box 2a in box 16. If box 2a is blank, and you haven't made after-tax contributions to the account, you can use the amount in box 1.
