You make all 1099-R entries in the retirement 1099-R section for the Federal return.
Box 12 must either have a positive dollar amount greater then 50 cents or be blank (totally empty box). If box 12 is blank then 13 & 14 must also be blank.
Any enter in box 13 or 14 implies that there must be tax withheld (greater then 50 cents) in box 12 or TurboTax will return an error. If no tax in box12 then it is as if boxes 12-14 do not exist at all.
