Where do i enter 1099 r state tax withheld?

[ThomasM · Accepted solution]

You'll enter it on the 1099-R screen by clicking Federal Taxes, then Wages & Income, then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security, then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), and follow the prompts.

You'll come to the screen where TurboTax asks you to enter the 1099-R information, and you'll notice toward the bottom are boxes 12-14.  This is where you'll enter the state information from the 1099-R, and box 12 specifically is for "State Tax Withheld."

I have the same problem Have you gotten an answer?

[nyegresits]

It won't let me file because it says that state tax withheld cannot be more than gross distribution or state distribution. Gross distribution is more but state distribution is not completed on form so empty. They took the state tax out but why won't it let me e-file?

[ccwu]

Me too.  It has the same error message and it would not allow me to e-file. It works for federal e-file, but not state.
