Received the following flag. Form 1099-R Box 16a state distribution amount should not be less than state tax withheld. My problem is that the 1099-R does not have box 16 on it.

To clarify, what is the 1099-R reporting?

What type of retirement income?

Did you type it in or import?

Is there not boxes 14 through 19 on the form?

The last box listed on the 1099-R is box 15. State/Payer's state number.

Is your 1099R laid out like the one posted above? Just put the amount from box 1 into box 16.

It sounds like you had state income tax withheld, and if so, please enter the amount from 2a (taxable amount) in box 16.
