Where did you enter the 1099? Was it a 1099R that you received? Did you enter it as a W2 instead of a 1099R?

If so, Click the following to enter your 1099-R:

Federal
Wages and Income
Scroll down and click Show More next to Retirement Plans and Social Security
Start next to IRA, 401K, Pension Plans (1099-R)

You will need to then go to your income summary page and click delete next to the W2 that shows. This will remove the W2 error.

If this was a 1095 to report Medicare, then you would not need to enter that form on your return.

If this was a 1095-A for insurance you received through the Marketplace select the following:

Deductions and Credits
Show more next to Medical
Start or Revisit next to ACA
Answer YES to did you receive a 1095-A
Enter your 1095-A

Thank you, but I did all that and its not working. I have nothing under W2s I dont understand why this is happening I have used Turbo Tax for like the last 4 years. But I have done it correctly but for some reason its saying stuff about the 1040 and W2

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2022" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:

Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.

Then select Tools below Tax Tools.
A window will pop up which says Tools Center.
On this screen, select Share my file with Agent.
You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

This is an IRS system e-filing issue that they are aware of and working on. You can see Known Issues and Solutions to monitor when there are updates.

It depends, as @AliciaP1 stated for the known issues, the IRS will continue to reject until they fix on their part. Please click this link to double check the status which may be updated every so often. Last update 02/01/2023. The IRS is working on it.
