Box 16 of what? There are a lot of boxes on a tax return, and we cannot see your screen.

You can enter the taxable distribution amount from Box 2a in Box 16 if you are a full-year resident of your state.

On Form 1099-R:

Box 14 is state tax withheld
Box 15 is the state and payer ID and
Box 16 is the distribution amount for that state.

Many payers leave the state distribution amount blank on their Forms 1099-R. If you are a full-year resident of your state, you can enter your box 2a amount (the taxable amount of your distribution) in box 16.

See this TurboTax help article for more information about entering Form 1099-R.
