Non-qualified pension income triggering reject code FW2-001-02

What should I do?

    Best answer by BEKanak

    I found the answer! While not on the W-2, TT places the value for non-qualified pension income in both lines 11 and 10 of the internal W-2. Removing the value from line 10 ( but leaving it in line 11) allowed the return to be accepted.

    FW2-001-02
    Reject Code FW2-001-02 generally occurs when a W-2 has been entered in the return and marked as a statutory employee W-2, but no Schedule C has been associated with the W-2. Wages from a W-2 marked as a statutory employee W-2 are not included in the income reported on Form 1040, line 1. Earnings as a statutory employee must be reported as income in Schedule C.

     

    is the statutory employee box check on the actual W-2 or was that typo you made when entering it?

    see this link for who can be such an employee. if you don't fall into one of these categories request a corrected w-2 and delete the checkmark. to avoid an IRS notice the employer must correct the w-2 filing.

    The statutory employee box is not checked and is entered correctly. There is no Sch C. The W-2 is from a non-qualified pension plan. Other ideas?
