However I do not have a duplicate 1099R. It just so happens that my and my spouses 1099R are exactly the same (with exact same amount). In TT I have selected the names correctly for each 1099R. However it is rejected.Duplicate 1099R - Unfortunately, we've noticed your return may have included duplicate Form 1099-R information. Please login to TurboTax in order to resolve this issue before we can e-file your accurate return.
Any suggestions (besides printing and paper filing) that can help?
update
Several people ran into this issue. Assuming you have double-checked that both 1099R are in fact not duplicate (i.e. for different people or different accounts), there are two ways to work-around this:
- Do a paper-based file via US Mail instead of E-Filing. This is not convenient, but the best way to work-around this bug in my opinion.
- Change one of the two 1099R amounts in box 1 and 2 to one cent higher or lower (example 6000.25 vs 6000.24). When transmitted to IRS, these numbers are any way rounded, so it should not change anything in terms of taxes owed, and unlikely to get error-checked by IRS. Ofcourse, this is slightly more risky since you are putting an incorrect number, but I personally feel comfortable with it given the rounding.
