How many times can efile be rejected?

What should I do if my tax return was rejected because my SSN was already used?

How do I cancel an already filed tax return?
No. You can’t cancel the return after it has been e-filed. If you need to change any information in the return, you can only make changes to your return if the IRS rejects it. If the IRS accepts your return, you must use Form 1040-X to file an amended return to fix the mistake.
Why does Turbotax keep rejecting my AGI?
When you enter your prior year AGI or PIN, it must match the IRS master file exactly. If your return was rejected for an AGI or PIN mismatch, it means that what you entered doesn’t match their records. The IRS only requires one of these to match their records to get accepted. Most people use their prior year AGI.

I filed a paper return early for 2019 (March 2020) but the IRS didn’t process it until Feb 2021 (yes, 2021). Anyway, entering 0 worked and my efile return was accepted. It seems odd but it looks like an IRS glitch not a TT one.
