Yeah...the answer was from something posted last year....or before
For 2020, the IRS moved boxes 12,13,14 to boxes 14,15,16.....so what was box 13 on a 2019 1099-R, is now box 15 for 2020 1099-R.

Usually, a state EIN is only needed if there is state withholding. IF that happens.. "sometimes" making boxes 14 and 15 entirely blank works (especially for states without an income tax) but I can't even guess what would happen in every state circumstance.
