Extension rejected because claims TIN already used on a return; should I be worried about ID theft?
I filed for an extension yesterday, but discovered this morning it was rejected with the following error code:
"R0000-902-01 - Taxpayer TIN in the Return Header must not be the same as a TIN of a previously accepted electronic return for the return type and tax period indicated in the tax return."
Tried to file it again and got same rejection. That's concerning because I certainly haven't filed my taxes or an extension request... What should I do? Did someone file some fake returns?
I'm currently waiting on the phone for an IRS rep, but looking for advice.
