File tax twice

If you accidentally file your taxes twice, here’s what you need to do:

Understand the Process:

• it's unlikely that you filed twice because TurboTax has built-in checks to prevent duplicate filings.
• The IRS will normally  automatically reject the second return if it detects a duplicate filing with the same Social Security Number
• . This means the first return you filed will be processed, and the second one will be flagged and rejected
• You should receive a notification from the IRS explaining the rejection of the duplicate return. This could be an error code or a letter outlining the issue

IRS Resources:

• For more detailed information on handling duplicate filings, you can refer to guidance on tax return errors.
