Is someone fixing the error showing up this year on the 1099-R worksheet in box 16-1 when there's state tax withheld but no state distribution?

This did not happen in prior years, and not having a state distribution on a 1099-R is VERY common so why does it error out when you leave 16-1 blank or enter a zero?  Retirees who have DIV or INT income often have state taxes taken out of their 1099-Rs,  so they don't have a large state tax payment in April, but 1099-Rs rarely have a state distribution.  Hoping this is on the "change list" for programming.

I havent had any issues with this, maybe its state specific?   

I always leave the state distribution box empty, Ive never had an error.
