State tax filing
For NYS filers getting the form 1099-R error - "Form 1099-R Box 14a, for electronic filing New York State withholdings can not be greater than or equal to the gross distribution or state distribution" here is the correction you need to do in order to allow your NYS e-file to be accepted. In Box 14a enter a "X" in the error correction box that says you verify the NYS withholding amount is correct. Then enter the Box 1 Gross Distribution amount into Box 16, the State Distribution amount. I had 1099-R's for multiple payers. Those that had a blank in Box 16 resulted in the error message above, while those that had an amount in Box 16 were error free. Hope this works for you!
