Last year verification

[Kennyd47]

My son used the same turbo tax web page to file our take return and his was not asked to verify his last years taxes. When i filed they asked for my last years tax verification. My file was less complicated than his. Why is this?

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.
