@Rude2rude TurboTax cannot verify any user's identity. TurboTax only provides the software for a do-it-yourself tax return. TT has no way to know if the data entered by the user is true or correct, nor can TurboTax act on a user's behalf with the IRS.

I HAVE TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY
Sometimes the IRS chooses returns randomly to request verification of identity and sometimes there is something on the return that triggers the request. No matter why the IRS has required you to verify your identity, you need to follow their instructions in order to receive your refund. If you do not verify your identity you will not get your refund.
