Narrative: Reno ground cleared us to taxi and hold short of 16L via J. I mistakenly crossed 16L and came to stop holding at 16R. I was obviously not paying close attention to my taxi as I was setting my instrument departure into the GPS. In an attempt to expedite the before takeoff checks I was setting up the GPS; normally a function reserved for the PNF. I am very ashamed of my mistake; I am embarrassed; and I am disappointed in my airmanship and know how dangerous my mistake was. Thank God nothing bad happened as a result; other than reprimanding by the FAA and/or my own company.


Second narrative: I was concerned about the runway distance to take off at the intersection of Taxiway Lima and 16L and was still studying the taxi diagram. I was frustrated with this Captain as he has a habit of not completing everything prior to taxiing and trying to rush the flight when there is no need or purpose to hurry. It would have only taken a few minutes to load the flight plan in the GPS prior to taxiing. I was also frustrated because he was trying to do everything instead of flying as a crew. If he was going to taxi prior to having the flight plan loaded he should have focused on taxiing and asked me to load the flight plan.While I was trying to figure out the runway length available for takeoff from intersection Lima I had my head/eyes down looking at the airport diagram and unbeknownst to me the Captain was still focused on loading the flight plan in the GPS (while taxiing) and crossed the hold short line onto Runway 16L. The Ground Controller told us to stop immediately which I acknowledged via radio and the Captain stopped. The Ground Controller told us we had just taxied onto an active runway and to continue forward and hold short of Runway 16R. I acknowledged these instructions and to my amazement the Captain taxied forward a few feet and stopped prior to clearing 16L while he continued to load the flight plan in the GPS. As I motioned for him to keep taxiing forward the Ground Controller said the same. At this point I was livid and told the Captain to stop with the GPS and to focus outside and taxi. I told him this is why I like to load everything in the GPS prior to taxiing or taking off. At this point he finally agreed with me.The cause of the runway incursion was the divided attention of the Captain as he was taxiing and his rush to depart. My attention was divided as well as I was looking at the airport diagram and trying to prevent an incident like this from occurring. I cannot force a Captain to load the flight plan prior to taxiing nor can I force them to let me load it while they taxi; but I can admonish them earlier and if they do not listen then make sure I do nothing but look outside and make sure they comply with instructions while they make the foolish choice to divide their attention inside while taxiing.This runway incursion was not deliberate or intentional and was an eye opener for me on how the flying pilot needs to focus on being in control of the airplane on the ground and in the air. It also taught me that I need to keep focused outside the minute I see the flying pilot dividing his attention while taxiing.


Synopsis: BE200 flight crew reported a runway incursion when both pilots were distracted approaching the runway.
