Did it say a Duplicate SSN?  Did you claim a dependent that maybe filed their own return?  Or their other parent claimed them?  Are you married?  Did your spouse already file?

Did you by chance use the non filer portal on TurboTax or the IRS web site to register for the stimulus payment?If you did, a tax return was efiled for you with 0 income. You will now have to print and mail your return to get it accepted.

 

The non filer portal was for use only by persons not filing a tax return.
