New York State taxes 1099-R

jacquie12 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 20:11:06 GMT

I'm almost ready to file my NY State taxes and I'm getting an error message from TurboTax: Form 1099R Box 14a, For electronic filing, New York State withholdings cannot be greater than or equal to gross distribution or state distribution. I'm getting this on 2 of my 1099-Rs and in neither case is it true. I cannot get past this page. Can anyone help with this?

If the state distribution in box 16 of the 1099-R is 0 (zero) then enter the amount from box 1 in box 16 so that you can e-file the tax return.

Thank you! It worked! Such a simple thing that Turbotax could fix.
