There is no Box 16 on 2 1099Rs that I have received and two additional 1099Rs (from the same provider) have no amounts in box 16.

Not A Product Question

Best answer by Irene2805

Box 16 is the state amount of the distribution. In most cases it is the same as Box 1 - gross distribution. If there is an entry in Boxes 14 or 15 on your 1099-R, TurboTax will expect an amount in Box 16.

Enter the following in Box 16:

If Box 14 shows State Tax withheld, enter the amount in Box 1 (gross distribution);
If Box 14 is blank or zero no state tax was withheld leave Boxes 14, 15 and 16 blank.
