🔍 IRS rejection FW2-002 (MeF)
This guide explains why you may see IRS rejection code FW2-002 (MeF) and how to resolve it.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Review what was included with your return:
- If you included a copy of a Form W-2 worksheet with no wages entered, this can trigger the rejection.
📊 What This Means
This can occur when you have included a copy of a Form W-2 worksheet with no wages entered. The IRS does not allow these types of returns to be e-filed, so you must paper-file the return if this is required.
🛠️ How to Fix It
Step 1: Paper-file if required
If the IRS requires it due to the W-2 worksheet with no wages, you must paper-file the return.
Step 2: Work around the IRS limitation (if applicable)
Otherwise, you can work around this IRS limitation by discarding the W-2 with no wages, and then entering any necessary entries from that W-2, such as third-party sick pay, in the appropriate places on Form 1040 and other forms in the return.
