The IRS Website stated that my refund was being reviewed further for potential identity fraud - has anyone else gotten this message when checking their refund?

Yes, every year some income tax returns are reviewed due to possible identity theft issues. 

 

As a filer, you need to just co-operate if the IRS asks you for documents or identification. They will likely mail you a letter as a first point of contact, so be wary if you are called by a person claiming to be from the IRS.
