I had my taxes filed at Jackson Hewitt and went to check to see if they quoted me a correct amount by using turbotax and accidently filed twice

One of the returns will be rejected, if your return from Jackson Hewitt has already been accepted then the one you filed with TurboTax will be rejected. Two returns with the same SSN cannot go through the system.

Can I fix this by sending a 1099 see the IRS

@Cll35 Did you file an original return and then file another return that included the 1099? If so, the second return will be rejected.

You will need to amend your original return to include the 1099. Sending this to the IRS without an amended return will result in it getting shredded or lost.

Log into Turbo Tax assuming you use Turbo Tax online
When you reach the landing page, scroll to the bottom where your tax returns and documents are.
Select 2020, and click on the option to amend and change return.
Answer the questions about why you are amending
Once you begin working in your return, your refund monitor will reset to 0.
Once in your return, go to federal>wages and income.
Since there are more than one type of1099, you will need to browse the various income categories to see which one is applicable to your 1099 that you need to report.

I swear that I did not hit "Submit" on an earlier draft of my taxes, but it shows that I have now submitted my taxes twice - one where I owed $990, and one where I was due over $5K. Both "submitted" the same day.

Did you change the "Submit" screens in TurboTax? I have used your product for 10+ years, and for submitted the taxes, it also verified 2-3 times before actually submitting. I had no intention of entering the first one.

What do I do now? Btw, I paid for Audit Defense - will that help at all?

After you hit the submit button you should get an accepted or rejected email. You cannot possibly submit a return twice so if the first one is accepted then you must wait for the IRS to process that return before you file an amended return. So check your emails for the status.

I just did the same thing so i should not panic it still should go through.

You can't file your return twice, the second one will be rejected by the IRS.
