Yes, many people experience this, especially in a divorce and name change year. This is not a TurboTax issue, this is a SSA (Social Security Admin.) delay in communication to the I.R.S. When I got divorced, and also moved, I had a heck of a time getting my return accepted. This is for your own benefit, but I do understand your frustration. Whatever name you have registered with the SSA - as well as what ever address you used on your last accepted Federal Tax Return - should truly go through. Please, also, be sure to note that even a missing . for your middle initial might kick it back to you. It has to be exactly as the SSA has it. If you still encounter a problem, your second best bet would be to paper mail your returns with all back up documents, be sure to send Certified Mail / Return Receipt Requested to ensure the I.R.S. has received it and proof of what day it was received and signed for. One year of having to deal with this, believe me, will save you many years to come of this miscommunication between the two completely separate Governmental Departments.
