I purchased turbo tax back on 4/20.  I went to efile tonight.  After entering all of the info to file, drivers license, pin, etc.. I was able to file but got an error message saying that the SSN was already filed.  I found info in turbo tax that says the taxes were filed on 4/19.  I didn't even have turbo tax then.  Now I am not able to file and don't know what to do.  

I am desperately needing to speak to someone.  I am filing my father in laws taxes.  He is confined to a nursing home.  My husband is his Power of Attorney for all legal matters.

    "I found info in turbo tax that says the taxes were filed on 4/19."

    I found it under File> Electrinic Filing> Electrinic Filing History

    When I went through the process tonight of drivers license info, AGI info, pin, etc. and I hit file it said that there was already taxes filed under this SSN.  I checked the Electrinic filing in Turbo tax and that’s where I got the date from.  I have also checked the IRS account and it doesn’t show them filed yet on their end.  
    I am at a loss as to what to do.

    I am not familiar with that -  Are you using the Windows desktop version?

     

    What does the TurboTax filing status say:
