At review, I"m receiving an error message that I need to put an amount in box16. Ohio Box 16 on retirement 1099R is blank. Why is this occurring this year?

How do remedy This?

[KrisD15]

To clarify, is there anything reported in Box 14 or Box 15? 

[biggtno1]

Yes. there are amounts in blocks 14 and15.

Enter the amount reported in box 1 of your Form 1099-R for the state distribution amount box 16.  This should clear the error condition without affecting your tax return.
