If the e-file was rejected for duplicate use of a SSN, you will not be able to e-file. You cannot overcome that rejection. Your return can be filed by mail and the IRS will sort out the duplicate use of the SSN. Someone else may have inadvertently typo'd the wrong SSN, or it could be more nefarious--someone could have claimed you or one of your dependents. Or....this happens often.....do you have a teenager or college student who filed their own tax return and did not mark that they could be claimed as a dependent?
