The 5071C, Potential Identity Theft During Original Processing with Online Option, letter is mailed to taxpayers to notify them that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) received an income tax return using your name, Social Security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).

Can turbo tax do it for me?

NO...  the DIY program cannot do anything for you nor can any of the Intuit employees as that is not legal.

@ccc84 No one can help you with identity verification.   You have to follow the instructions given to you by the IRS to verify your identity in order to get your refund.

Thank you for the links and help. I have gone over all the info online. I believe I wasn't clear before. Unfortunately, we do NOT have what is required, such as mortgage, credit cards nor school loans. We have NO outstanding debt for them to verify us. Offices don't answer and ALL phone contacts attempted were " huge volume of calls, call back" recordings. It has been absolutely EXASPERATING!

I/we truly appreciate your help.
