if you are being rejected for a duplicate social security number, this means someone else already filed with someone with that SSN/ITIN.
First go back and double check to be sure you entered the numbers correctly.
If it is, you can apply for an IP PIN which will allow you to file a return even if there is an issue with the duplicate ITIN
