IF box 1 and 2a are the same $$ amount...use that $$ amount as the state distribution  (should end up in box 16, even if empty on your paper 1099-R.)

If box 2a is different from box 1, some claim the state distribution should just be the box 1 value.

 

I usually claim it should be the box 2a value, as long as the box 2a value has a positive non-zero number in it....but that might depend on which state is involved.
