Tried filing tax return electronically and get error message with same SS number already submitted.

 

What does that mean if had not filled my return yet? I owe IRS for 2019 taxes.

    It depends.

     

    Did you file using the non-filer registration tool to register for the stimulus payment?  If so, you will need to mail your tax return in.

     

    Switch from E-file to mail

     

    If this is not the case, please see the following information from the IRS if you believe someone filed a tax return using your social security number.

     

    Reporting suspected tax fraud

     

    You will not be able to e-file your return if you are getting a message indicating your information has already been reported on a return filed.  You will need to mail your tax return in.
