Retirement tax questions

This error appears when you entered the same state information in twice on the same form.  You should go back to your 1099-NEC and correct this.  To go back to your form:

 

  • Open your return
  • Go to your federal return and open Wages & Income
  • Go to Self-Employment and edit
  • Scroll down to your Form 1099-NEC and click the pencil to edit

Delete the information for box 5, make sure you only have the state listed once.  This should take care of the error message.
