On one or more of your 1099R forms, you claimed state income tax withholding but did not provide the state abbreviation, the Payer's Federal EIN, the Payer's
state ID number and/or the distribution amount. Please correct and retransmit
Yes, that is what the email states. However, a check of all the federal and state documents shows that I did in fact enter the state abbreviation,the Payer's Federal EIN, the Payer's
state ID number and/or the distribution amount. The schedule of school district withholding is also populated correctly. When I reopen turbotax it shows no errors and offers no help in directing me to the issue as it says it will in the original email telling me it was rejected.
I have the same exact issue Northerner86--. I followed the instructions to go to the File tab in TurboTax, and then "Check E-file status" and it does NOT provide details on what is causing the problem.
Me as well any body have. solution of this error OH-PIT- 68
I called the Ohio tax office and learned they are seeing the school tax issue with those who used Turbotax to file. I generally don't file this early and am assuming Turbotax generally has these issues ironed out by early April. It would be helpful if turbotax would provide some support by way of answering our questions as opposed to allowing their users to try and debug their problems. Its also worth noting that for those of you filing a 1099-r for the first time their "simple method" schedule does not allow you to calculate your taxable amount if you reach mra (minimum retirement age) during the tax year.
thanks
for the information. Hopeful they can get it fixed. Otherwise its back to pencil and paper
Ok so this appears to be related to a duplicate condition.

Look at your entries on your 1099R and maybe even delete and reenter the form and resubmit. Let me know if this solves the issue.
So the supposed issues with the 1099 R's do not affect the State of Ohio income tax but only the Ohio school tax. How can this be? This sounds like a Turbo tax issue. But as usual there is no one to talk to about this.
This is what Ohio has for that reject code -
Did you have this reject? Did you follow the steps and receive another reject after resubmitting?
I have an answer for this.
In most cases, the Federal and Ohio returns have been accepted. What is being rejected is the School District Return if you had withholdings. If you had School District Withholdings, the School District Return can't be efiled.
If your Ohio return was accepted and the only reject you have is the School District Return, you will need to print and mail the School District Return.

There's nothing to fix in TurboTax. Everything is completed correctly. I confirmed on all the forms. The problem is in how TurboTax is populating the information being sent to the school district and a loop in the error fixing since all forms are correctly filled out, it doesn't see a problem. When I click on the button "Help Me Fix It" (1st picture below) and it just takes me to a page that says I'm getting a refund from Ohio (2nd picture below). When I click on the "Continue" button it takes right back to the page saying the school tax was rejected and gives me the "Help Me Fix It" button (1st picture below). But it just continues in a loop.
I did not pay any school tax last year, therefore I owe. So the withholding doesn't apply in my situation. Instead it looks more like an error on the way TurboTax is filling out the form to send to for Ohio school taxes. Do we really need to print and mail the school tax form? Or will TurboTax be fixing this bug so that we can resubmit?
So, it sounds like the Ohio return went through but the school district tax was rejected. The suggestion is that you complete the SD100 in paper and send it in. Wonder if the paper sd100 will catch up with the Turbo Tax upload that apparently went through ok.
CatinaT1 - This thread is about the PIT-068 error which apparently is associated with 1099-Rs. I have likewise checked all the identification numbers at least 5 times and they are correct. I am also wondering how my Ohio IT1040 was accepted (this contains the worksheet with 1099 payer info, State, State ID, etc.) but the SD100 continues to be rejected with the same error code. The Fix It button has no instructions. It goes to the Ohio summary and then back to Fix It.
Thanks for posting that detailed message. I am having exactly the same loop problem you are having. I don't have any school tax withheld but do four estimated tax payments every year. I filled this out the same way I have every other year but I am stuck in this same loop. Either Turbo Tax has a glitch or Ohio changed something in the School District Tax form and didn't advise Turbo Tax of it. Either way I wish Turbo Tax would advise if they are working on what appears to be a software problem on their end.
We would like to take a deeper dive into this message to assist you. In order to do this, it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2023" 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.
Here are the instructions if you are using TurboTax CD/Download:
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.
Hopefully having a diagnostic copy of a tax file will result in a solution to the loop issue and TT will be able to post "Fix my Return" instructions soon. I'm having the same issue with reject code OH-PIT-068. Both Federal and State returns were accepted and like everyone else I've checked my 1199R inputs and they are all correct. I've had 1099s and paid school district tax for almost a decade and this the first time it's been rejected using TT. No guesses as to the cause of the problem, just waiting for further guidance. Have a good day.

Thank-you so much for looking into this further.
Yes. Like you, I have been filing this SD return along with Fed. and State for many years using Turbo Tax and this is the first time I have had this issue. I couldn't find anything wrong with 1099's either and checked previous years and form was filled out exactly the same with no issues. I just sent Katina T1 the requested information and hopefully she will uncover the issue and resolve it for us.
After taking a closer look at the diagnostic file, here is something that may be causing the issue.
The state information shown in boxes 14 through 16 of Form 1099-R need to all have a value in them if there are any state taxes withheld.
If your Form 1099-R does not show a state ID number, enter the Federal ID number. If your Form 1099-R does not show a state distribution (box 16), enter the distribution amount shown in box 1. Do not enter zero for the distribution amount if state taxes were withheld.
Please let us know if this change allowed you to successfully file your return.
Hello Annette,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, as a Federal Employee (now retired) my organization would not take out School District Tax from either of my two 1099-R's. There is an amount in Box 14 of my Office of Personnel Management (Pension) 1099-R as I have State tax withheld but that is for the State of Ohio, not the local School District. Box 15 has the correct two letter state abbreviation and State ID number that TT automatically filled in. Box 16 has 0 for amount.
The second 1099-R is from the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) (Federal 401K) and I have no State tax money withheld. So by default, TT left Boxes 14 and 16 blank but filled in Box 15 with State abbreviation and State ID number.
I make four Estimated Tax payments to the State of Ohio every year and report them on the SD Tax Form using Turbo Tax. In fact, I overpaid and am due a refund.
So far I have been rejected by Ohio three times. The first time was when I originally filed all my returns on Turbo Tax and so boxes 14-16 had the default information put in automatically by TT. The second time, after reading the TT rejection instructions, I removed all the information since no money was withheld. That was rejected. The third time, I completely filled in Boxes 14-16 using 0 for the amount in Boxes 14 and 16 and the State abbreviation and ID number in Box 15. That was also rejected and is the version I believe you currently see on the forms I sent you. I have used TT for years and have never had this happen before and to my knowledge did not do anything different this year. One other thing to consider; If something is filled in or not filled in correctly in boxes 14-16, why was the State of Ohio IT 1040 tax return accepted? Hope all this extra detail helps you, and as you can see, there are others having the exact same problem. Thanks for all your help in looking into this matter for us.
GaryG -
My SD100 was rejected so many times that I went to the OH State tax form website and decided to do it myself. Many entries were already filled out, I assume from the 2023 OH taxes having been already accepted. I live in a Traditional SD (and submit quarterly estimated taxes) and I made sure all lines were properly ported and filled out. The amazing thing that happened was another REJECT. However, this popup said if nothing was reported for local taxes withheld on 1099R's, DELETE all the entries. So that's what I did and the form was accepted.
