Did you submit your information through one of the non-filer applications in order to get your stimulus payment?  There are non-filer options either through TurboTax or the IRS.  

 

  

If so, when using the non-filer system, your information is processed by the IRS as an original filed return. 

 

If not, then you may have a more serious identity theft issue to address. 

 

See the following TurboTax articles for some additional advice about your situation:
