Enter the amount from box 1 of the form 1099-R in box 16 and then e-file again.
Thankyou, but not sure why that works, since none of the information changed from the transfer of data from the pension custodian.
It did work. Seems that this problem exists each year during filing.
The program is designed to perceive there is an error if the withholding is more than the income to which it is related. This is to help the user identify entry errors. Entering an amount in the state distribution box to resolve the perceived error will not cause a problem with e-filing your return. Glad this resolved your issue.
