💰  Tax

I received two 1099-R forms from different companies for the same amount of approximately $19,000, resulting in being taxed for $38,000 instead of $19,000. I retired from General Electric Healthcare in 2020 and had a pension plan through them. In 2023, GE Healthcare transferred my retirement account balance to me, and I attempted to roll it over into a traditional IRA. However, due to the minimum amount required to open an IRA annuity, I had to cancel the annuity and received a refund with federal tax withheld. Now, I am taxed for both the original amount and the annuity amount. How can I avoid being taxed for both amounts on my federal income tax form?
