Multiple rejections after submitting return - duplicate 1099-Rs

dschick1969 — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 21:32:17 GMT

My return keeps getting rejected when trying to e-file saying the IRS rejected due to duplicate 1099-Rs but they are NOT duplicates. I have three very similar for the exact same amount of money from the same investment company but they are different accounts. I have tried changing the name of the payer to slightly different names but it still things they are duplicates. Any tips for how I can get the IRS system to realize my 1099-Rs are all different?

Add $0.01 cent to one of the 1099-R's and subtract $0.01 cent from the second 1099-R's and leave the third 1099-R with the same amount as entered. Then e-file the tax return.

Ha, I thought about trying that but didn't know if it would be ok to do so. Since you affirmed the idea I will definitely give that a shot. Thanks.

I was having the same problem. The solution of changing the amount by 0.01 worked for me.

IRS Rejected my 2022 taxes due to 'duplicate' 1099s.

In fact they were identical.

The $.01 adjustment was implemented when entering the 1099's in Turbotax then the return was resubmitted.
