If you click the SSN Column Heading, it will organize the files by SSN, you should be able to find the duplicate file that way...either delete the duplicate or open it and uncheck the EF boxes on the fed information worksheet.   

You may have to open then save/exit the other file that you want to EF in order to make the duplicate message go away.
