i need to pay state tax but dont know state type code

The distribution code for normal distributions would be shown in Box 7 on your 1099-R.  This would normally apply to both Federal and State returns.  I know of no instance where a state would have a different distribution code than what is shown for your Federal distribution code.  A normal distribution from a 401K would have a distribution code of "7".

ESOP is an acronym for "Employee Stock Option (or Ownership) Plan".  Normally any purchase made under these types of plans would appear as a line item on your Form W-2.  If you converted your ESOP shares and sold them you would or should have, received a Form 1099-B showing the sale of shares.

I have enclosed links that further explain the items that you are questioning.  The distribution codes for Form 1099-R are linked on Page 13 of the 1099-R instructions.

....And...if you are asking about the State Codes for the "Where is this distribution from? page, after you entered your 1099-R form:

It depends on what state you are talking about...when asking about some state detail that you need or are confused about, you need to tell us Which State?  you are asking about.
