My 1099s do not show amounts on line 16, but TT posts error message that 14 cannot be greater than 16.

    What kind of 1099 do you have? There are over 20 different kinds. There is no plain Form 1099. All 1099 forms have one or more letters after the 1099. The most common are 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and 1099-G. Boxes 14 and 16 are different on different types of 1099 forms.


    The following applies if boxes 14, 15, and 16 are as follows. If boxes 14, 15, and 16 are not as listed here, tell us what kind of 1099 you have.

    14 State tax withheld

    15 State/Payer’s state no.

    16 State distribution


    If box 14 is zero or blank, leave boxes 14, 15, and 16 empty in TurboTax. Do not enter anything.

    If there is state tax withheld in box 14, enter the amount from box 1 in box 16.
