I conquer. I hereby call on Intuit to issue everyone affected by this issue a full refund or in lieu of that a courtesy copy of TurboTax 2021 at the same edition level they purchased for TY 2020.
Even if the issue was with the IRS, which is highly disputed given lack of this issue being discussed on competitor's product forums, Inituit should have worked with the IRS to resolve this issue in a timely manner. The link at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/electronic-filing/help/why-am-i-getting-a-1099-r-duplicate-rejec[p... says the issue is solved, which is not as a day or so ago when I last tried refiling (without using the penny trick).
Given how much Intuit charges for TurboTax and the amount of time that has passed since this issue was first identified, this is simply unacceptable.
I have worked as a software engineer my entire career, and despite never having looked at the source code for TurboTax, I feel confident I could fix this issue singlehandedly in a day (at most).
I'm disgusted.
