Most paper 1099-R forms have box 16 empty....but some states require a value in that box for the software.

_________

If box 2a has a non-zero value in it, then copy box 2a into box 16.

 

If box 2a is empty and 2b marked "undetermined", then you copy the Federally-taxable amount of box 1 into box 16  (usually, that is just box 1....but not always)
