State tax filing

Thanks for the recommendation to use Box 1 info - gross distribution amount for the Box 16 entry (State Distribution). 

 

But I just looked through my old files on this and realized I had asked a similar question last year - then I was told use the Box 2a amount - Taxable Amount for the Box 16 entry. 

 

Ugh - anybody else have experience with this annoying Ohio form so I can get a consensus on correct approach?
