Return Rejected

Feb 03, 2023 Last reply: 3 years ago 2 Replies

I tried to file my HR Block created return and is was rejected. The reject code was FD-32-FW2-001-02. After 1/2 hour of searching for the code the IRS told me this meant my W2 wages didn't match the sum of my W2 wages.



And in fact it doesn't. I have a W2 for an unqualified pension plan. Last year, the proceeds were included in W2 on line 1a. This year, it is not included but is reported on line 8. I checked and TurboTax does the same thing.



So - are both the tax programs wrong or is the IRS check wrong?



(rant - how can the IRS not have a public listing of the error codes?)


Answering part of my own question. I read the instructions for 1040 and the treatment I am seeing is correct. It quite clearly states that you do not include unqualified pension income in the W2 line even thought its reported on a W2. Now what.

Final resolution. Turbo Tax informs me the IRS is in error and there is no time to resolution! Wait or file by mail!

But - it turns out Block messed up my State Tax by including the unqualified pension income TWICE - both in W2 and in new extra line!

Sigh.
