If you already e-filed  and it was accepted, then no other tax return using your SSN will be accepted----so even if someone is trying to use your SSN to file a return, the return they try to file will be rejected.

You're using a different TurboTax account this year. It's important that you contact us right away.

We are holding the tax return for 48 hours to give you the opportunity to verify it's yours or stop it.

This is a valid email so if you have already efiled your return then you have nothing to worry about ... the second filing will simply be rejected by the IRS.

I set up a fake return each year and file it just to get the rejection message so I have that info to pass along.  I just opened another account and used the same fake name & SS#  and tried to efile again ... TT sent the same email since they did see a second return using the same name/SS#/Bday and they have put it on a 2 day hold.  If I do not call in to report the "fraud" TT will release the return but again it will simply be rejected.  

Are you sure you did not do this yourself ?  Were you trying to do some tax planning or amending and filed a second time by accident?

I didn't do this myself, I wouldn't want to repay that tax bill, haha.  Thanks for the input, I am awaiting a call back from TT now.
