Sorry for the delay. Box 2a Taxable Amount-$15,000. Box 14 State Tax Withheld-$750. Box 16 State Distribution-$0.00 Inherited traditional.
I've deleted and re-done importing AND entering by hand. Each gets the same message: "State distribution can't be blank and can't be less than state tax withheld."
I called the EJ help line and a very nice woman told me to enter line 2a, as you've all suggested.
BUT, entering box 2a amount gives me a $17,000+ refund, whereas last year I got $150 from the used-to-be-great-state-of-Indiana. Unless, that's just how it is? I wouldn't complain, but that's surely audit bait.
I've messaged the Indiana Dept. of Revenue, and will update my results. Thank you all!
