The software is designed to prevent people from double entering their income forms. It's a common enough error that it has to be built in to the system. If you have two 1099-R's with the exact same value it triggers this error prevention in a remarkably annoying way.
The suggestion that works is to add a penny to one of the 1099-R totals changing it from $XXXX to $XXXX.01. The IRS rounds numbers to the nearest dollar anyway, they don't deal with any partial dollar amounts. So your penny change will not effect any of the information that the IRS receives.
