Form 1099-R (Fidelity Investments): Box 12a For electronic filing, New York State withholdings can not be greater than or equal to gross distribution or state distributio

I cannot correct this and don't understand what I need to do to e-file. I copied all the info from the 1099-R form just the way it is printed on the form. I am getting very frustrated and need your assistance

Go back and Edit/Update the 1099R that you are having issues with in the Federal section.  First look at boxes 12 and 14 again to make sure they are entered correctly.  

Make sure box 14 has an amount in it, If not enter the amount from box 1.  This will fix you situation.    

To get to this section, if you ned assistance look at the following:
