Thanks for using TurboTax,

If your saying your return was rejected due to a duplicate ssn, then you must call the IRS. Go to this link http://www.irs.gov/uac/Taxpayer-Guide-to-Identity-Theft. That rejection means someone else has used your information.

Solution

Please double check all Social Security numbers in your return against everybody's Social Security card. You can do this by clicking the Personal Info tab and going through these screens again.

If you come across any mistyped entries, correct them and then try e-filing again.
Otherwise, if you verified that all Social Security numbers are correct, contact us and one of our representatives will assist you.

But the IRS is not rejecting it, Turbo Tax is. A formal rejection is an IRS determination sending the return back along with an error code and that's not what's going on with this message. It's an internal messages given to the customer, not by the IRS. Very strange.

To get your refund and any eligible stimulus payments that have not already been sent, do the following things:

Print and mail your tax return by midnight, May 17, 2021. See: How do I switch from "E-File" to "File by Mail" in TurboTax Online?
1. If you need more time to finish the tax return, to avoid penalties and interest for failing to file and/or failing to pay, then file an extension by midnight, May 17, 2021. See: How do I file an IRS extension (Form 4868)?
2. If you owe taxes, they must be either paid or a payment plan set up by midnight, May 17, 2021.
  1. How can I pay my federal taxes?
  2. What if I can't pay my taxes?
Protect your identity
1. Follow the steps here: What to do if you suspect tax-related identity theft
  1. Get An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN).
    1. See: What's an IP PIN? Do I need one?
  2. It would be in your best interest to contact all three of the major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on your credit records. (see Publication 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers for direct links that will help).
