How do I fix Federal Reject Code R0000-902?

What does this rejection code mean?

The IRS is stating they have already received and accepted a Federal return for the current tax year with the Primary Taxpayer's SSN.  This means that the return is being rejected as a "duplicate return".

How do I fix my return?

There are several possible scenarios for receiving this code:

1. The Social Security Number or ITIN was entered incorrectly.
   • Log into the account and review the information in the Basic Information section of the account. 
2. Sometimes taxpayers wish to file their State Only return after they filed their Federal return using another e-file provider.  However, they mistakenly resubmit their Federal return with their state return although the IRS has already accepted the Federal return, causing the duplicate submission rejection code.
3. If you did not file your Federal return using another e-file provider, it is highly recommended that the IRS is contacted immediately to determine if a return was filed and accepted with the Primary Taxpayer's SSN.  The IRS number is 1-800-772-1213.
4. Print and mail the return if you believe this is a mistake. If you believe the taxpayer is a victim of identity theft, refer to: IRS Identity Theft Guide.
