Federal e-filing rejected for duplicate W-2s -- but the W-2s are similar but one is for me and one for my wife
My wife and I are filing as married/filing-jointly. My wife and I worked at the polls for the last election. The township we worked in sent us two very similar looking W-2s -- same employer (the township), same amount paid for the day working at the polls, etc., but a separate W-2 for each of us. Our federal return is getting rejected as "Duplicate W2 - Unfortunately, we've noticed your return may have included duplicate W2 information. Please login to TurboTax in order to resolve this issue before we can e-file your accurate return."
There is nothing to correct -- the W-2s are for two separate people. If they were to the same person I would assume that I could add them together and submit as one combined W-2, but the W-2s are for two different people with different SSNs.
