Thank you for the suggestion to populate box 16 with information from box 1 or 2a, but I am not comfortable with this, especially as in past years I have never had to do so. In the past, I simply poulated the boxes in TT just as indicated on 1099-R, including leaving box 16 blank. This makes me think that either TT is not handling this situation correctly this year, or State of Ohio has changed their requirements. In the first scenario, TT would need to make a correction in the software, and in the second scenario I would have to request a corrected 1099-R. Any further thoughts?
