on my 1099-r box 14 the box say 1656.54. that is not more than the gross distribution. why am I getting the above message?
Yes, the message is referring to the gross state distribution in box 16.
If box 16 is blank on your 1099-R form, you can clear this error by entering the same amount as box 2a, or box 1, if box 2a is also blank.
