Tubo tax program keeps telling me I have a duplicate 1099 R but I have check 3 times all the numbers are correct . no duplicate can be found???

This is unusual, but it can happen, so it gets flagged.

A simple way to resolve this is:

• to add $1 to one 1099-R, and 
• subtract $1 from the other.  
• Your taxable income is identical, and it bypasses the issue of identical forms.

This is how to post a 1099-R

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click "Wages & Income" on the top
3. Scroll down to  "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)" 
4. Answer "Yes" to the question "Did You Have Any of These Types of Income?"
5. Click "I'll Type it Myself"
6. Choose "Form 1099-R, Withdrawal of Money from 401(k) Retirement Plans, Pensions, IRAs, etc."
7. Click "Continue"
8. From here TurboTax will walk you through entering your Form 1099-R

 Once you complete the first one you can Add Another 1099-R

Your suggestion did not fix the problem????

There are a number of ways to make the 1099-Rs that are being treated as duplicate different forms.
For the 1099-Rs:

• enter a date in Box 13
• enter an account number
• change the zip code in the payer's address to point to some other city.
• enter an amount in box 8
• enter an amount in box 17 or 19
