How can I change the state in box 15 on your 1099-R tax form?

[SharonD007]

If your 1099-R is incorrect, you will need to contact the payer to request a corrected Form 1099-R.

Refer to the IRS article What to do when a W-2 or Form 1099 is missing or incorrect for more information.

It is not the payers form.  It is the form I am trying to fill out on turbo-tax.  Shows Tennessee and I can't delete it.

Thanks

Ah, the problem is that some software automatically prints a state code, whether or not it is relevant (Tennessee has no individual income tax, hence box 15 is not relevant on the 1099-R form).

So just don't enter box 15.

NOTE: this assumes that there is no entry in box 14. If there is, then we have a while different problem, because they shouldn't withhold tax for a state with no income tax. Come back and tell us if this is the case.
