Is anyone having issues with a 1099-R issued from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service US Military Retired?

Particularly box 16 causing issues?

what is the issue? if there is nothing there, and your state has income tax, best to just enter the same as box 2a.

On your 1099-R, if any State Tax was withheld in Box 14, there needs to be an amount in Box 16 (normally the same amount as Box 1 or Box 2a).

 

If no state tax was withheld, you can leave Boxes 14-16 blank in TurboTax.  The Box 1 or 2a amount will transfer to your state return, and, depending on your state, may be non-taxable, partly taxable or fully taxable.

 

Here's a link to state Dept. of Revenue sites.
