Did any of you get a postal mail from the IRS asking for additional identification in order to get your refund?

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.
