The error is trying to say that there should not be any
state taxes withheld (Box 12) if there was not a state distribution (Box
14).
To correct it, you need to Edit any Form 1099-R that shows an amount in Box 12 for state taxes
withheld. If Box 14 is blank or zero,
enter the amount shown in Box 1 into Box 14 also.
Use these steps to go directly to a list of your Form 1099-R
entries and Edit them one at a time
to correct the error:
-
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
-
This opens a box where you
can type in “1099-R” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click
the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
-
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to 1099-R”
-
Click on the blue “Jump
to 1099-R” link
