I have never filed a tax return but TurboTax is saying I only filed a return last year to register for the stimulus check. I did not do this. What do I do?

It is using this information to calculate my AGI to verify my identity and says my AGI is $1. Does this mean someone filed something with my information? I checked with my parents and they did not (they can still claim me as a dependent).

You can check your account with the IRS to see if a tax return was filed in your name last year. Go here to create your account on the IRS website and check your history.

If there is no tax return filed for last year then I wouldn't worry about a $1 versus zero AGI for last year. For the IRS those are mostly the same thing.
