The IRS will accept only one e-file with your Social Security number---any other attempt will be rejected. If neither one of you e-files by the October 15 deadline then the return has to be printed, signed and mailed. You do not say if you are trying to use a "preparer" who is a TurboTax Live or Full Service preparer---or if is is someone from somewhere else. If you are using TurboTax services you will be charged for the service. Online TurboTax fees are for using the software--not for e-filing, so you pay for the service even if the return has to be filed by mail. Or even if you attempt to e-file and the return is rejected.
