You cannot file two tax returns using the same SSN.  Why are you trying to do that?  Please explain.

Once an e-filed tax return is filed you cannot e-file another tax return with the same Social Security number.

 

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

Did you already file an original tax return? Why are you trying to file two?
