Duplicate SSN on large number of returns?

Is anybody else getting an oddly large number of "Duplicate SSN / Return with this SSN was already filed"? or are a lot of my clients actually experiencing some type of fraud. I've had roughly 7 clients get rejected due to this exact issue and none of them came in stating they experienced fraud or had a PIN number. If the returns need to be mailed in I will do so but this is very odd. I've never gotten more than two of these in a single year. Is there any kind of fix or potential solution?

I found the issue. I guess my proseries is just slightly broken. I contacted a few of the clients I'm having this issue with and they said they all received their refunds, exactly what I wrote on their client copy folder. So I guess my ProSeries is showing "Marked for EFile" still when actually they've been accepted. Is there any way to now fix this so I know who has been filed and accepted?

Consider whether you've been hacked/compromised.   You might log -in to the IRS website to see how many returns have been filed using your EFIN.
