I saw your note from last year and had a question about NC that relates to your answer. My 1099R box 2a is blank and the box 16 is blank. In the follow up page labeled "Source of Distribution" and after the boxes for "Bailey, Railroad, etc." for that particular payor, the "state distribution amount" is left blank but the NC State ID number is filled in automatically. Do I need to type the gross distribution amount in the box. I assume this is to assure the gross distribution is taxable in NC if the taxable amount in 2A is left blank. Thanks
