Two of my 1099R's coincidentally have the identical amount of income to report. Efile IRS keeps rejecting them as duplicates, which they are not.

Increase the amount on one by $1, and decrease the amount on the other by $1.

Try this -

Subtract $0.01 cent from the first 1099-R and and add $0.01 cent to the second 1099-R. E-file the 2020 tax return again.

@DoninGA I'm concerned that 1 cent may not help, since the program (and the IRS) rounds to the nearer dollar.

It is possible but other users have reported that adding and subtracting $0.01 cent works for e-filing the tax return.

I filed the return and was rejected , this was done three times , and the reason was the 2019 AGI was being flagged as incorrect , which was not the case , how can this be corrected? And was my bank account charged three times ? Each time I had to resubmit after a new rejection ?
