WHOA..STOP!

Are you talking about having just done your 2018 taxes using the 2019 on line edition. Because that is not doable. Your information will be questions by the IRS and because it does not match up to any amounts that it has. I would suggest calling the IRS and telling them the problem or wait until you receive a correction letter

Telephone Assistance | Internal Revenue Service

Once you find your local office, call 844-545-5640 to schedule an appointment. IRS offices are closed on federal holidays. Certain taxpayers may qualify for free tax assistance.

In order to prevent fraud, the turbotax program lets you know when a social security number has already been used.
