I got married in 2023, my husband filed under married joint taxes. I don't know if I am supposed to file or that's all that needs to be done. I received an email from TurboTax stating to file my taxes, but my husband already filed so I don't know if I'm supposed to file or not.

If your 2023 tax return was filed as Married Filing Jointly, then you do Not file a separate tax return.

I just got married and didn’t know that I needed to file only one tax return if filing jointly and me and my wife both filed and filed jointly and both got rejected so how do I unfile her taxes and refile mine so that it’s combined.

If it was rejected, it wasn't filed. You can just abandon that return.

No you do not file separately. A Joint return is one return combined for the both of you. Did he enter all your income and deductions, etc. on the Joint return?

I figured that was right, but I received an email from turbo tax stating to finish filing my taxes. It's the first time I'm seeing this and I don't want to get penalized for anything.

When TurboTax sees an account that has not filed, it doesn't know that the person has filed jointly in another account. Just ignore the reminders from your old single account. But do make sure that your husband included your income and other information in the joint return that he filed.
