My W-2s were rejected by state agency. Can I retransmit my forms in Tax File App?

If your forms were rejected because of duplicate filing, i.e., the state agency 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 the state rejected your form for the following reasons, you can retransmit the W-2 forms in Tax File App.

  • State account number rejection
  • Virginia State Withholding Rejection

Steps to view and retransmit the rejected 1099s:

  • Sign in to your Tax File App account.
  • Navigate to 1099/W-2 from the home screen.
  • Select Tax Year and Business
  • Click Rejected Forms to view the list of rejected forms.
  • Click Fix Error & Retransmit button to view the reason for rejection.
  • Click Fix Error & Retransmit and then click View Errors.
  • Click Fix Error and enter the correct information.
  • Click Save & Continue and proceed with the flow to retransmit your form.


Note: Please contact the state agency if your W-2s were rejected for any other reason.
