I too have had the exact same problem. E-file return rejected with no error code, but when logging back into TT, it says the problem is duplicate 1009-Rs (same text that @TomKiel posted). I have a similar situation to most. Eight 1099-Rs, from three different payers, but the closest thing to "duplicate" are identical distribution amounts for me and my wife from the same payer. In previous years this has never been an issue. I originally E-filed this past Sunday night, and received the rejection Monday morning, so a slightly earlier, but similar timeframe to @Sooz original post.
Thinking there was some sort of subtle data corruption, I deleted the 1099-Rs with identical amounts, but different recipients, and resubmitted on Tuesday morning. Same rejection message less than 90 minutes later. Thinking maybe it had to do with the other 1099Rs from other payers, or the sequence in which I entered, I deleted and manually re-entered (instead of importing) all 1009-Rs Wednesday afternoon. I was hopeful when I did not get an immediate rejection, but alas, early Thursday morning the same rejection.
I guess I'll try the one penny work around. I vaguely recall some other situation from several years ago where I kept getting Turbo Tax errors (not IRS rejections) that was solved by a $0.01 adjustment. Never got a "special" envelope from the IRS on that one. However, I have had a couple situations over a couple decades where forgetting to insert a zero in a blank field resulted in a "special" envelope even though there was no tax liability involved.
Thanks to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.
