The state information shown in boxes 14 through 16 of Form 1099-R need to all have a value in them if there are any state taxes withheld.  If no state taxes are withheld, then leave all boxes 14 through 16 blank.

 

If your Form 1099-R does not show a state ID number, enter the Federal ID number.  If your Form 1099-R does not show a state distribution (box 16), enter the distribution amount shown in box 1.  Do not enter zero for the distribution amount if state taxes were withheld.
