Question

1099-R Box 16a

The Turbo Tax program will not let me E-file my return because Form 1099-R Box 16a is blank. However, on my OPM form 1009-R, there is no box 16 or 16a.

Is this an error in the software? What do I need to do to be able to file my return.

If your form is a CSF-1099-R or a CSA-1099-R, indicate that at the beginning of the 1099-R section, since these entry screens are a bit different than a regular 1099-R.

However, Box 16 for State Distribution is normally the same amount as the Box 1 Distribution amount.

Here's instructions for How to Enter a CSA-1099-R.

Hi, I received a 1099 R from Schwab. My box 16 (both lines) are blank. Turbo tax wont let me file electronically. should i just put in the same amount in from box 1 for box 16 so i can e file? I am in Ohio.

Yes, entering the same about from box 1 in box 16 should allow you to efile. @1924peter
