NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO SOMEONE THAT CONTACTS YOU (or other personal information for that matter).
Scammers always try to create a 'sense of urgency' (call back within 48 hours or something bad will happen!)
Also, the IRS does not email or call anyone - it is always via the mail
hover over the email address in the email and see if it some weird sender and not Turbo Tax. If you need to call back, look at the Turbo Tax Web site and only call the numbers that are listed there. Do not trust the phone number in the email is legitimate - it may be someone trying to steal your identity!
