1099-R form with a blank for State distribution

I have a 1099-R form with a blank in box 16 for State distribution. When I enter 0, Turbo Tax online still says this need to be reviewed.

 

I am aware there is an issue with this occurring, but until it is corrected I am unable to complete our 2024 taxes.

 

Please advise

@user17727234300 Enter the amount in box 1 of the Form 1099-R into box 16 for the state distribution.  This amount does not flow to the state tax return.

Anything in box 14? If not then leave boxes 14, 15 & 16 blank, no spaces. If you have withholding in box 14 then enter the same amount as in box 2a. If box 2a is blank use the amount from box 1.

Box 14 is not blank. Box 2a has an amount that is different that Box 14.

I attempted to make the changes you suggested and still receive the same result - Answers to review still needs review.

State distribution on 1099 is blank and can't file taxes.  Its blank on 1099 you are holding up my refund
