My NJ 401K roll over to IRA shows up a second time as my wife's rolloverr.

I have seen other people having the same issue dating back 3 years. If it is a program problem why isn't it corrected?

I rolled a 401K to a traditional IRA on my Federal return. When I do NJ taxes it comes up for me, and then appears a second time as though it were my wife's. Why can't the program identify the correct person?

Please review your form 1099-R in the Federal section.

When entering each form 1099-R, there is a page titled Who does this 1099-R belongs to?. Please make sure that you click on the first name of the spouse the 1099-R belongs to.

Thank you for your reply. It was my rollover, and I checked the correct box on the Federal Income box question stating it was my rollover

Now when I get to the New Jersey review the same question is asked "was any of this rollover to a simple IRA". I answer no, and hit continue, and the question is repeated under my wife's first name with the same exact rollover figure. There was no rollover for my wife, and I entered mine correctly.

I have seen other people with the same problem, and if this is a program error I would hope that it will be explained?

Thank you for sharing your token number. It does take some time to go through the process of reviewing your token and sending the information to the next group for further review. The situation you described was submitted to the development team for consideration.

Even though the information on the screen while working through your NJ return asks separately whether both you and your spouse had a rollover to a SIMPLE IRA, as long as you answer 'No' on both of those screens, there is nothing that will change within your NJ return.

if the amount on your NJ tax return line 20a is correct ( ZERO ) there is nothing to do.

Submit it.
