I used TurboTax's Quick Employer Forms to e-file my forms 1099-NEC and W-2s for my business. I e-filed all the forms at once, only ONE time. However, I received duplicate confirmation emails for each person stating the forms at been e-filed, and both emails were sent at the exact same time.
I grew suspicious that TurboTax had e-filed everything TWICE, which was confirmed when the duplicate W-2s were rejected by the SSA stating there was already a form on file for that person for the tax year.
The issue is with the 1099-NECs. I've read that the IRS just accepts both of them, so I need to correct this TurboTax error so that my contractors don't get a letter from the IRS for underreporting.
I read to fix this, I need to file ONE corrected 1099-NEC with $0 for each contractor. That will cancel out one of the duplicate forms for that contractor, leaving just the original 1099-NEC with the correct amount.
Because I e-filed the original forms, I have to e-file the corrected 1099-NEC. However, TurboTax will NOT allow me to file a corrected 1099-NEC for $0. It gives me an error saying I can't file a $0 form.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? Are there are e-file options where I can file a corrected 1099 for $0? I'm really frustrated that TurboTax e-filed all the forms TWICE when I only e-filed them ONCE.
