Question

Form 1099-R Box 16 asks for State distribution amount. Box is empty. Box 1 shows a distribution amount. Should I enter box 1 amount in box 16?

The amount in box 2, (Box 1 if 2 is blank), will automatically carry over to your home state.  If you have multiple states you will have to make that distribution internal to the state program.  If it's blank I would leave it as it is unless it develops a problem.
