Can I tell go ahead and tell Turbo Tax the amount that should have been listed in Box 16 on a 1099-R form even though the amount was listed in Box 14?

Turbo Tax won't let me file electronically until I tell it an amount was listed in Box 16 on a 1099-R form, although the 1099-R form I received had the State Tax that was withheld listed in Box 14. Why can't I just tell Turbo Tax the amount that was listed in box 14 for Box 16.

It will not accept the same value in both box 14 and box 16.  Try entering the value from box 1 in box 16.
