Rejected

[joelsally]

I have two 1099-R that are identical.  One is in my name and the other is in my wife's name.  I received a notice of rejection for a duplicate 1099-R.  There were no duplicates.  I rechecked my files.

Please revisit your 1099-R entries.

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

That was the first thing I checked for.  They both had the proper names associated with it.

This occurs to prevent actual duplicate 1099-R's from being transmitted.  The workaround is to add $1 to your 1099-R and subtract $1 from your wife's.  This will resolve the duplication problem, and will not change your tax return by one penny.

Thank you for your response.  I have submitted the return for the third time.  I increased my line 1 & 2a by $1 and decreased my wife's line 1 & 2a by $1.

I hope this does the trick.

What I do not understand is that we have submitted both identical 1099-Rs before in previous tax years and never had a problem.
