Was your e-file rejected because it is saying a tax return has already been filed using that same Social Security number? If someone claimed you as a dependent, or if someone even accidentally used your Social Security number by typing their own number incorrectly, your e-file will be rejected by the IRS. You can still file your tax return but you cannot e-file it. You will need to print it, sign and date it in ink and mail it in. Expect it to take at least six months to be processed, since mailed returns are taking a long long time.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
