Box 16 is the state amount of the distribution. In most cases it is the same as Box 1 - gross distribution. If there is an entry in Boxes 14 or 15 on your 1099-R, TurboTax will expect an amount in Box 16.
Enter the following in Box 16:
- If Box 14 shows State Tax withheld, enter the amount in Box 1 (gross distribution);
- If Box 14 is blank or zero no state tax was withheld leave Boxes 14, 15 and 16 blank.
