Retirement tax questions

If box 14 has a real value in it...several states require a value in box 16 that is greater than box 14....that is usually box 2a, if box 2a has a real non-zero value in it.

 

IF box 2a is empty, or "undetermined" then it would be the Federally-taxable amount of box 1  (which is usually the same as box 1, unless after-tax contributions were made to that retirement account)
