Question
1099-R Box 14a Coding Error for a New York State IRA distribution
An error appears on the 1099-R income form Box 14a indicating that the NYS tax withholding cannot be equal to or greater than the gross distribution. This is preventing me from electronic filing of my income tax forms. The NYS tax withholding is only a small percentage of the gross distribution. The error must be in the coding. I am unable to resolve this. All of the entries on this form coincide exactly on the 1099-R statement. I deleted the form and reentered all of data into a new 1099-R form, and the error persists. Turbo Tax assistance and resolution to this matter is appreciated. So frustrating!
