If you have an amount in box 14 for state tax withheld but no amount in box 16 for state distribution, then box 14 is more that 16 and that would cause the error message. So, you need to enter in box 16 the same amount as is in box 1. The assumption is that if there were state taxes withheld as reported in box 14, then there must have been a state distribution, which would typically be the same as the federal distribution listed in box 1.
