"Our records indicate that you are not entitled to file one or more formsets" What does this mean? What do I do?

I get a code from the IRS every year because of an identity theft issue years ago. I put that in, and checked if for accuracy. That doesn't seem to be the issue. Now what?

Thank you. Convoluted and time consuming, but your suggestions worked. I was able to file my federal taxes after deleting the state. Then, I had to do my state tax for the third time. I filed those, too. Done.

I am unable to file my returns. I get the message that "Our records indicate that you are not entitled to file one or more formsets".  I would like to know how to resolve this. According to the post I replied to, one way is to clear the state return and submit the federal but I can't do that since I already paid Turbotax.
