My refund was rejected because of nontaxable combat pay. I put exactly what the W-2 says. How do I fix it?

What was the reject code and message?

I also got this, and 3 other people I know did as well.

8812 Combat pay

Mine too. We did have combat pay on our w-2 as my hubby was deployed part of this year. We’ve never had an issue with his combat pay before as he’s been in 15 years and was deployed part of last year as well.

Hello everyone, this happened to me as well. I went through my information and just re-entered all the numbers for combat pay and my federal return was accepted within 20 minutes. None of the info was wrong so idk why it was rejected in the first place, but it was accepted once I tried again. Hope this helps!
