The IRS does not send emails.  Do you think you already filed?

Can you post the exact rejection error code/message?

No I did not previously file and don't have record of one being filed. When trying to submit an efile I get a submission duplicate error

Oh, if it doesn't let you actually efile, that sounds like that is a TurboTax message not a rejection.  Was it like a popup?   TurboTax may think you or "someone" has already submitted a return with that SSN based on its own database.   Is it just your SSN on the return, or does it also have spouse and dependents?  

 

@ MarilynG1  Do you think this is an internal error message from TurboTax blocking submission, and if so, do you have information on it, and what steps to take?    Thanks.

If you didn't get an email from TurboTax that your return was Accepted, check the Where's My Refund? site to see if the IRS has any record of a return for you.  If not, you may want to Request an IRS Transcript if you suspect identity theft.
