1099R Form With No Distribution in 2024

I have a 1099R with an inherited traditional IRA that distributions will begin in 2025. I have no distribution in 2024. There was federal and state tax withholding in 2024 with no distribution.  Turbo tax is giving an error message of "State distribution amount can't be blank and can't be less than state tax withheld".  It won't accept zero in the box 16 - State Distribution Amt.  The distribution amount in the 1099R form box 16 State Distribution has $0.00, since there was no distribution in 2024.  What do I need to do to proceed in Turbo tax?

my 1099R has no amount in Box 16 but does have an amount in 14. Turbo tax does not allow me to ignore or enter 00. What do I do

Generally, you can enter the distribution amount from box 1 in box 16 to get past the error that TurboTax is giving you.

Thank you, that is what I did.
