I just finished my tax return and tried to e-file it.  I got an error message that the same Social Security number has already been submitted.  What can I do?  I am using the turbotax deluxe desktop version.

    If you have reviewed all the Social Security numbers on your tax return and the IRS is rejecting the return because they have received a federal tax return with one of the same Social Security numbers, then your only option is to print and mail the tax return.
