Retirement tax questions

If your 1099-R shows you had State Tax Withheld (in Box 14), then the 'State Distribution' (Box 16) is the amount equal to the Gross Distribution amount in Box 1.  If that applies, you also need a State ID in Box 15. 

 

However, if you had no State Tax Withheld (many do not), then leave the State Distribution box blank also.  You should enter your 1099-R as it is issued. 

 

Here's more info on How to Enter 1099-R.
