Description of error: The sum of all Form W-2s, 'WagesAmt' must not be greater than the sum of 'WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' in the return and sum of all Schedule C Form 1040

This return cannot be electronically filed due to a processing error related to the Other Income items listed on 1040 Schedule 1, line 8. This issue will be resolved, but there is currently no estimated date for when the update will be available. You have two options: 1) You may wait a few weeks and attempt to resubmit this return, or 2) You may print and file the return by mail. This message will be updated when a resolution date is identified.

Yeah, this is a known error on the IRS side of the equation.  They are trying to get it fixed and hope to have it done soon.  I would wait and attempt to file again after February 6th.

I'm having this same issue.  Can you share a link from IRS that acknowledges this error?

 

Thank you,

Is this the error code that you are getting FW2-001-01     The sum of all Form W-2s, 'WagesAmt' must not be greater than the sum of 'WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' in the return and sum of all Schedule C Form 1040 . Try this resolution then;

  1. Go to Form Schedule C.

I didn't get an error code. Where would I find that?

Also, I'm not filing a Sch C. The issue seems to relate to a non-qualified pension.

I did not get an error code also but my description matched that of this thread and the resolution posted above worked.  In my case, it has entered values in line 10 and line 11 of the W2, I just had to 0 out line 10 and the issue was resolved.  IRS accepted my  return in under 15 min.
