Question

Duplicate W2s

IRS Rejected my e-file. My wife and I received two W2 forms from our small company with the same salary info for each of us. They are the same amounts, but for different people. E-file rejected since it thought the W2 was a duplicate for one person. While it is the same numbers, each one is for two different people with separate SSN as printed on each W2. In TurboTax each W2 is entered under each person's name. What can I do?

    Increase the amount one one of them by $1, and decrease the other by $1.
