Rejected for Duplicate W2's but I only have one W2

[jnradio01]

As the title states I keep getting rejected for duplicate W2s but I only have one W2 , I have deleted and reimported it several times. all the info matches what is in my hardcopy of the W2. I have deleted and reimported the W2, manually entered the W2... TT checks and finds no errors, resubmit and rejected again, and again, and again... Been using TT for 25  years with same employer and this has never happened before.

Not sure if you have done this already, but you may want to make sure you are deleting the form from the actual return and not just the program itself and then try to re-enter the W-2. If that does not work and you continue to get rejected, the only other option would be to print and mail the return.

Issue turned out to be how my state taxes were listed on the W2. There was  the regular state tax then another amount on a second line with no state or employer identified... turns out it was a new NJ Family Leave tax... TT support told me to combine the amounts and list them on the one line...that worked the return was accepted, fed and state.

Hi.  

Thanks for the posting.  I am using the Turbo tax for the first time and this happened.

I thought it had to do with my IRS efile that was rejected. I deleted my IRS e-file and refiled TT three times and "duplicate W2 issue" happened.

Thank God, I am a NJ resident also.  My W2 showed the same State tax lines including the "FLI".  I just added both lines taxes and re-filed.  I hope this takes care of it.  TT should catch this or treat it as a fix item.  I spent over 4 hours wrestling with this issue.

Thank you for your posting. I hope this fixes and I can get to bed.

Thank you.  It DID work!

My W2 automatic uploading option guess isn't available for Paycheckflex.

Anyway, I learned something new.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Samantha, new Turbo user!
