Why does my 1099R have no amount listed in box 16 for state distribution?

Box 16 of your 1099-R is the state distribution, which  may be a required entry in TurboTax depending on the state you live in.  If box 14 is blank, you can leave boxes 14-16 blank.

 

You can put the amount from box 2a in box 16.  If box 2a is blank, you can use the amount from box 1.
