If it isn't working right for you, work your way out of that form and delete it.
Then restart a NEW form 1099-R, and Make Sure you select the correct form sub-type when you start up the new form.
IF your Mom has a CSA- or CSF-1099-R, you have to select that sub-type right near the start of the new form. IF chosen properly, that OPM form "will" have the proper box numbers (12,13,14) presented to you.....or if it is just a plain 1099-R, then you need to make sure you select that one.

1) IF you are using the "Online" tax software, make sure you have an entirely separate account for her entries
..................DO NOT attempt to reuse your own Online account or you will irreversibly destroy your own file, and encounter all kinds of problems trying to enter hers.
2) if you are simply re-using an OPM form that transferred in from last year's tax file....there is a state entry "verification" page that shows up with the OPM boxes 12,13,14....moved into boxes 14,15,16. If that is what is confusing you, then just verify that the numbers & values are correct, and ignore the box numbers....but only on that "verification" page.
