I am completing the IN state form, I get a window saying: Check this entry Sch IN-W: Col D-State Income must be entered. What goes into the Col-D State Income box?

[JulieS]

Schedule IN-W is a list of the income tax forms (W2 or 1099) in your return that have Indiana state income tax withheld. 

In most cases this is your W-2 or 1099-R. Your state income from W2 or a 1099-R is shown in box 16.

[rad49]

And what do we do if the 1099-R Box 16 is empty?

[JamesG1]

IRS form 1099-R box 16 is not always reported by the preparer of the 1099-R.

Report the value in Taxable amount box 2a if that is also the value reported as taxable income in box 4b or 5b of the IRS form 1040 tax return.

If multiple 1099-R's are reported on the tax return, you may also need to refer to the Form 1099-R Summary in the Federal tax return.  

In the online versions, you may view or print at Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return / Include government and TurboTax worksheets after you have paid for the software.

Excellent!

Thank you ver much!!

We use 1040-SR.  We have multiple 1099-R's, so referred to Form 1099-R Summary. Do we then use Box 2 on the 1099-R Summary (2a is blank)?   But it (Box 2 on 1099-R Summary) is NOT the same as Box 4b or 5b on Federal 1040-SR.  Thank you.

[AbrahamT]

Box 2 on the 1099-R summary  shows the gross distribution which should correlate to Box 4A IRA distributions . The box that you describe Box 4B should correlate to Box 10 on that summary worksheet which is the Taxable amount. Similarly Box 5B on your 1040 SR should correlate to Box 26 on that summary worksheet which is Taxable Pensions and Annuities. Box 5A on the 1099SR is the gross distribution from your pensions and annuities and correlates to Box 22 of that same summary worksheet.

Ok. Thank you for all of that. Sorry for my density. I still don't know what to put for Column D on IN-W. I uploaded all documents from the investment firms. Everything else seemed to have populated fine, but Column D is blank on IN-W and is tagged by TurboTax as an error. 

[smartcat]

I figured it out from the 1099-R Summary. Thank you

[mjhoffnerpe]

what if there is no number on the W2 for column C

[JamesG1]

The employer filed W-2 should include an employer identification number (EIN) in box 2.  

If there is no number there, you may have to contact the employer to obtain the EIN.  The employer will need an employer identification number to file the W-2, IRS form 940, IRS form 941 and other forms.

Does your tax return from 2021 include this employer and the employer identification number?  Do other employees have this same problem?

I am getting the same error as user above.

Sch IN-W: Col D-State Income must be entered.

Col D-State Income

I already entered all income and taxes withdrawn from my W2 and 1099-R forms.  I am married filing jointly as well.  What do I enter in this box?  I already see all my income and state tax withheld entered on the form?  

[BillM223]

You should not need to enter anything in that box - TurboTax should fill it. However, since you are getting an error. what goes there is the withholding for the state for each taxpayer for each form that has withholding.

I was able to reproduce this error by creating a test return with a couple married filing jointly, where each taxpayer has a W-2. But when I entered the spouse's W-2, I made sure that Box 16 was blank, even though there were entries in boxes 15 and 17.

I would encourage you to go to your W-2s and 1099's and check the line for withholding (boxes 15-17 for the W-2, boxes 14-16 for the 1099-R, and so on.

Note that if the "IN" is there for Indiana, but there is nothing else in the other boxes, please delete the IN.
