my state refund was rejected due to a 1099 box 16a issue. There is no amount in this field on the 1099-r.

I was instructed to put a number there by the support back on 3/15/2025. When I remove that number for the state to accept it. it will not allow me to continue.a

Anything in box 14? If not then leave boxes 14, 15 & 16 blank, no spaces. If you have withholding in box 14 then enter the same amount as in box 2a into 16.   If box 2a is blank use the amount from box 1.
