If you submitted your information through the non-filer system prior to completing your return, that is what has caused the problem with the duplicate filing. If you did not, then you may have a more serious issue with identity theft.
When using the non-filer system on the IRS website, your information is processed by the IRS as an original filed return.
Any subsequent filing submitted electronically will be rejected and must be mailed to the IRS for processing.
You can do this in a couple of different ways:
- You can create and file an amended return with Form 1040X, which will be processed by the IRS as an amended return.
- Or, you can complete your Form 1040 information using TurboTax and include a cover letter with the return to explain that you completed the non-filer registration for the stimulus check and that this is your correct tax return. Instead of the cover letter, you can also write '1040X Amended Return' on the top of your Form 1040 before you sign and mail it.
Don't forget that when you mail a paper return to the IRS, you must include copies of your W-2s and 1099s, plus you need to sign and date the return.
Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.3.4 General Claims procedures states that ‘an informal written inquiry that includes everything necessary to input a correct adjustment’ will be processed.
