Did you receive a notice in the mail from the IRS to verify your identity?  

If so, see this IRS website about a CP5071 series notice - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-cp5071-series-notice

Or this IRS website for a CP5447 series notice - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-cp5447-series-notice
