When trying to efile, received message, "The submission is a duplicate of one that was previously received".

As the subject line says, TurboTax rejected my file. Obviously, I checked Check E-File Status, the message there says, "You Haven't E-Filed a Tax Return Yet".

Any thoughts on how to reset/fix, etc.?

It's possible you have been a victim of identity theft, if you haven't filed a return.

Unfortunately your only option will be to paper file your return. I would also suggest you Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit and mail it along with your return.
