I do not have anything listed in box 16 of my 1099-R, however it is requiring me to enter a number to continue. What should I enter?

If the state in box 15 is one of the states that has no state income tax, leave box 15 and 16 blank.

(Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming)

Boxes 14, 15, and 16 of Form 1099-R are for state distributions. You can enter the number from box 2a. If that’s blank, use the number from box 1.
