Verifying your identity with the IRS can only be done by you, no one else.

Go to this IRS website if you received a Letter 5447C - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/understanding-your-letter-5447c

 

TurboTax is tax preparation software to assist in completing a do-it-yourself tax return.  It is not a CPA, EA, Tax Attorney or other paid tax professional.

when using TT or any other self-prepared return software, only the taxpayer can verify his/her identity with the iRS.

Even if you use a paid tax professional only YOU can verify your own identity with the IRS.
