What to do if you file taxes twice by mistake?

I accidentally filed my taxes twice. This is my first year ever filing. The first one was rejected due to mistakes. Turbotax still says accepted. What is going to happen? Turbotax didnt make any mistakes.

You can't file 2 returns with the same SSN.

If you are saying the IRS rejected the first one then you can ignore that one.

Wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects the second one. If the second return gets rejected, you'll have to fix it and resubmit it again.
