Found 401k over contribution and was fixed prior to completion of taxes for 2019. Followed the instructions in TurboTax to create a 1099 for 2020. Entered plan administrator in payer information and entered over contribution amount in Line 1 and 2a. Entered P in line 7 per instructions. Made sure the 1099 was tagged for 2020 and entered over contribution into description.
Now keep getting errors in the return and am unable to efile either federal or state because I do not have a payer tax id for the fictitious 1099. I have been told that I will not receive any official 1099s until 2021 for this.
How do I bypass this error in order to e-file the taxes? If I have to file via mail will this flag any errors with the IRS?
