Retirement tax questions

14a is just the first state line for boxes 14,15,16.

So if there was a second state involved, they would call that 14b,15b,16b.

____________________

Thus, your box 14 might also be referred to as 14a.

____________________________

Beyond that, some states require that the state distribution amount be filled in into box 16.....either on the main 1099-R page, or on a follow-up page that asks for the State distribution amount.

 

 

IF boxes 1 and 2a have the same value...enter that value into box 16.

IF box 2a has a somewhat lower value than box 1, but still a "non-zero" value that is greater than box 14, put that value into box 16.

IF box 2a is empty and marked "Undetermined" in box 2b, then you'd ( likely  use the box 1 value.
