So is the amount shown on box 12 greater than the amount in box 14? If there is no amount in box 14 then box 12 should be blank (empty).

box 12 is a positive integer in the united states of America.

box 14 is zero or null to be percice.

therefore box 12 is greater than box 14.

You cannot have an entry in box 12 if there is not an entry in box 14. Box 12 is dependent on having an amount in box 14 since it would be the state taxes withheld from the state distribution. If there is no state distribution in box 14 then there cannot be any taxes withheld from nothing (null).
