Some of my batches imported from Sage are flagged as duplicates during the review. What should I do?

This warning appears when multiple batches imported from Sage contain identical recipient data—specifically the same TIN, form type, and payment amount. 

Why this happens

Duplicate batches are typically flagged when:

• The same Sage batch is imported into TaxBandits more than once

• A sync or import was unintentionally repeated

How to resolve it

You can choose one of the following actions:

• Allow Duplicates: If all the forms in the batches are valid and should be filed, you can allow them. Each form will be processed and transmitted as a separate submission.

• Remove Duplicates:  If duplicates were imported by mistake, choose to remove them. This will keep only the most recent version of each form and discard earlier copies.
