That happened to me two years ago. Tried to file through Turbo Tax and got a message that my return had already been submitted. Had to fill out a fraud form and mail in a paper copy instead.

Joke was on them though since I owed an additional $15,000!

Something similar happened to me about 10 years ago. My tax preparer told me someone had filed a return for me. I owed $10k or so. I learned that 80% of IRS staffers’ time is spent dealing with identity theft issues.

IRS now sends me a new PIN every year in Jan that I use when submitting my return.
