Is it actually an audit, or did you just get a letter from the IRS? It may be that someone else reported paying you money for self-employment work, a side job, or something similar. Do you buy and sell things online, at swap meets/flea markets, etc? Do Uber? Deal Dash? Any of that means you are self-employed (in business for yourself). You don't need to have established a formal business.
But let's hope your identity wasn't stolen.
Did you ever get a 1099Misc or 1099NEC or a 1099-K from anyone, even from PayPal or Amazon, etc?
or a K-1? Your screen name suggest that you may be in California. That state has a minimum franchise tax, and is always chasing folks they think may be trying to avoid it.
