1099R

I received a 1099R from a former employer.  My question is why is there an amount listed in box #16 "State Distribution?"  This amount is the same amount as listed in Boxes #1 and 2A. Since this is a pension and I don't report pensions to my state (Pennsylvania), there shouldn't be any amount in Box #16.  Should I disregard this amount and not Enter it into TurboTax or since it's listed on the 1099R, go ahead and enter it into TurboTax?

Enter it or not ... the program will handle it the same way on the state return.
