This IRS website states:

 

Why you received this notice

 

A federal income tax return, Form 1040 series, was filed under your Social Security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).

 

We sent you a CP5071 series notice because we need you to verify your identity and the return:

 

  • If you didn’t file a return: Verify with us. You may be the victim of identity theft.
  • If you did file a return: Verify so we can continue processing your return.

Follow the instructions on your notice to verify your identity and the tax return.
