Yep......The vast majority of 1099-R forms leave box 16 empty....but many states require a value for the "State Distribution Amount" anyhow (when entered, that will backfill into box 16 of the 1099-R worksheet)
That needs to be entered by the user, almost always, as being the same as the value of box 2a ...or the Federally-taxable amount of box 1 if box 2a is empty or marked as "undetermined".
