The error is trying to say that there should not be any state taxes withheld (Box 12) if there was not a state distribution (Box 14).
To correct it, you need to Edit any Form 1099-R that shows an amount in Box 12 for state taxes withheld. If Box 14 is blank or zero, enter the amount shown in Box 1 into Box 14 also.
Use these steps to go directly to a list of your Form 1099-R entries in your Federal return and Edit them one at a time to correct the error:
What if there is no box 12 on 1099-r form?
If there is an amount in 'State Tax Withheld' (Box 14) there should also be a 'State/Payor ID' (Box 15) and a 'State Distribution' amount (Box 16).

Make the corrections in your FEDERAL return, then check your State Return.
