If your tax return is complete, you can E-file it.

If someone else filed a tax return with your Social Security number on it, it'll be rejected quickly.
You will be told that it was the reason for the rejection.

If your tax return is rejected for duplicate use of your SSN, then you can print, sign and mail your own tax return and the IRS will sort out the duplicate use of your Social Security number. The IRS will not ever tell you who used your SSN.
