Default E-filing of Taxes

So I filed my taxes online throught HRBlock on April 15.  I admit that it was very easy through their web interface and it only took a few minutes.  Anyways, I receive an email from the IRS saying that my state and federal tax returns were rejected for the reason that someone with my SS number already filed taxes.  What the heck?  Has this happened to anyone else?

What would you advise that i do?

thanks

I personally filed using the Inuit e-file thing. I was so proud, because I filed my taxes a few months ago. I would suggest contacting H&R Block, to see if you can get some free advice on what to do. The thing that sucks about your situation is that if someone did indeed file for you, you might get audited. If H&R Block can't do anything I guess your only two choices are to wait and see what happens, or try to contact the IRS about it, which probably won't be too plesant.

I've always bought Intuits Turbo Tax but decided to use there online sys this year. I filed on the 13th and all was accepted and good to go.

Keefe If I were you I'd contact the IRS directly, bypassing the other. When it comes to your SSN don't mess around. Settle it as soon as possible.

I also use Turbo Tax and pay for the update each year, but I mail them in to the IRS. The option to file on line is available, but I don't use it and don't trust it, too many things can go wrong, such as what you describe.
If I were you I would call the IRS 800 number and talk to an attorney, yes, they have plenty of them, just explain to him/her what happened, surely some mix up with the SS #.
Good luck !
