Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I hit this with my return as well.  I did find some information on another site though I won't link it because I'm not sure of the rules.  This information indicates that the IRS is aware of this error and will fix it sometime in February and potentially rerun any returns that rejected for that reason once it has been resolved, though I am unclear on whether they will rerun or we need to resubmit.  The jargon used is that "effective returns will be recycled" and " you will receive an updated acknowledgement at that time".

 

As for WHY it is happening, I BELIEVE I got hit with this because my AGI for 2022 falls above the cutoff from 2021 for the student loan deductions  (170k, married filing jointly according to the 2021 1040 instructions), but below the 2022 cutoff (175k, married filing jointly according tot he 2022 1040 instructions).  TurboTax correctly added a deduction based on this year's calculations (which I confirmed manually using the 2022 1040 instructions), and the error description TurboTax provides which I assume comes from the IRS rejection message,  seems to support that:

 

If the filing status of the return is married filing jointly and Form 1040, 'AdjustedGrossIncomeAmt' plus (+) Schedule 1 (Form 1040), 'StudentLoanInterestDedAmt' is greater than 170000, then 'StudentLoanInterestDedAmt' must be zero if an amount is entered.
