Question

Is anyone else having a problem with turbotax online now asking to check (revise) what are valid entries from form 1099-R (Box 14a, when there is only a box 14) ?

When I ran the program a few weeks ago, it did not flag this as a problem, but now it does.  The amount I have in box 14 is correct.  The error message I get says 'Box14a For electronic filing, New York State withholdings can not be greater than or equal to gross distributions or state distributions'.  There is a box 14, but no 14A on my 1099-R and the amount there IS less than the gross distribution amount entered.

Box 14a For electronic filing, New York State withholdings can not be greater than or equal to gross distribution or state distribution.

I have spent too much time on this. I have gone over everything and the NYS tax directions.  Something is wrong. It is not a complicated  calculation to figure out the NYS tax. What is the answer?

If you have NYS tax withheld and reported in Box 14, enter the NYS distribution in Box 16, which should be the same as Box 1 amount.

This should resolve the issue.
