@VolvoGirl Not sure, but it might depend on what state is involved.
For my Windows Premier Desktop it doesn't show it either during the interview, but a couple years ago (with NC as resident state) they started automatically transferring the box 2a value into box 16 behind the scenes....and when I look at it in Forms Mode, the box 2a value is already entered in box 16
For Indiana I think they (Indiana) made some changes this year, and that is new, and perhaps the software people haven't implemented the box 2a transfer yet, or don't know if 2a-to-16 is valid for Indiana.
