What is state distribution on a 1099-R? where do I find it?

If I understand the question correctly: 

• The state distribution on the 1099-R is posted to box 16. 
• If the state indicated is Ohio, it means that that portion of the distribution is taxable in Ohio.  
• This is very often the state you live in.
• If you disagree with that, the first place to start is with the plan administrator.

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.

Why are you asking?

What you enter about your 1099-R, in the federal section, automatically transfers to the state return, even if there are no entries in boxes 14 thru 16, on the 1099-R
