Stata is giving a clear signal of the problem. Precisely which part of what it says is unclear to you?
In any case why do you think that panel "stuff" requires a wide structure?

I am working a subset of my dataset,
the data has around 1600 households, and 110 months for each. I am
able to run my xtregs and do other panel stuff. Now i am trying to
reshape the data from the long-format into wide-format. I used
"reshape wide r, i(panelid) j(timevar)" . Following is the response
from STATA.
. reshape wide r, i(panelid) j(timevar)
(note: j = 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460

timevar not unique within panel_id;
there are multiple observations at the same timevar within panel_id.
Type "reshape error" for a listing of the problem observations.
