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.

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

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.
