My W-2s were rejected by federal agency. Can I retransmit my forms in TaxBandits?

If your W-2 forms were rejected because of duplicate filing, i.e., the federal agency (SSA) has already received a W-2 submission for the individual. Therefore, the form has been rejected as a duplicate filing. In such cases, you are not required to retransmit the form.

If your W-2 forms were rejected for any other reasons, please contact the federal agency (SSA) directly.
