Form 1099-r box 14a new york state withholdings can not be greater or equal to gross distribution or state distribution. it is not higherthan the the gross distribution?

At this late date, the best thing to do is to delete the 1099-R and type it in by hand.

Oh, the way you wrote this question: is the state withholding larger than the state distribution? That would not be possible.

NYS withholding is 14.70 and the gross distribution is $290.00

[BillM223]

So box 1 has 290.00 and box 14a has 14.70.

What does box 16a hold?

Sorry to jump in, but I had an RMD on a small account and the distribution was $115.67.  I asked Vanguard to withhold the entire amount as a NY State tax deduction.  

Now I can not E-File because box 14 (State Tax withheld) EQUALS box 16 (State distribution).  I did not have to withhold the entire amount; I could have done this any other way.  Why (rhetorically) is this a problem???

Anyway, I am guessing (because I am getting refunds) that maybe I will have to ask for an extension and sort this out tomorrow.  Woof.

Any suggestions.  Thanks in advance
