I have a 1099-R from the OPM. WHen going through the review, I'm told I have to enter the State Distribution (box 16a), but I don't have a 16a. The help said this problem

The help said this issue had been identified and corrected, but I am still having the problem.

Enter the same amount that is reported in Box 2A and see if that will satisfy the program.

If box 14 has an amount and box 16 is blank put in the amount from box 2a in box 16.  If box 2a is blank, and you haven't made after-tax contributions to the account, you can use the amount in box 1.

Okay, that got me passed the problem. Why is that gotcha there? It's now March - all those problems should be smoothed out.
