This happened to me also using Turbotax. I tried to update my info with the IRS last month using their new "Non-filers site in order to attain my stimulus check. But recently when i went to efile my taxes using TurboTax my taxes were rejected do to a "duplicate filing error". My question is,what can i do to fix this and file my taxes?
Is there a way to let the IRS know what has transpired and lift the error code. Do you thin the IRS realizes this is becoming a problem and may fix it intenrally?
Here is the Turbotax Help site that allowed me to figure out what had happened to me.
A "non-filer" return is an official statement to the IRS that you will not file a tax return this year. So of course they will block anyone who tries to e-file a tax return in your name, since you already swore you wouldn't, so in their eyes is it likely to be fraud by someone else. In fact, the IRS web site says right at the top of the page,
The IRS never handles secure matters over the phone, and they don't take phone calls now anyway. You need to print your return, sign it, and mail it in.
There is no procedure now to undo this, to allow you to e-file, and there probably never will be such a procedure. Just mail your return.
