Turbotax will not let me file because it says 1099-R box 14a for New York cannot be greater than gross distribution or state distribution. It is not. How do I fix this?

The Form 1099-R does not have a box 14a.

It has Box 14 - State tax withheld, Box 15 - State. Box 15 - State number. Box 16 - State distribution

Box 16 can be the same amount that is in box 1.

If you are getting an error for box 16 no matter what is entered, then delete the Form 1099-R and re-enter manually.

Yes, thank you, I finally figured it out.
