Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You got this error for one of two reasons, either you accidently submitted your return already or someone else filed for you. Occasionally, it can be an issue with an IP PIN. 

 

You say definitely did not file, so you should contact the IRS and report this as soon as you can. 

 

Click here, and scroll to the identity theft section. Follow the steps listed there.

 

As far as your state, you may be able to file your state electronically as a stand alone return, if your state offers that option. Visit your state's Department of Revenue website to see if they offer free, state only e-file. 

 

If they don't offer that you will have to print, sign and mail in both your state and federal returns.
