I don't know, and I'm a Vet myself. You weren't clear when/why/where you got this notification, so I'll run a few situations that cover all bases. In the end...confirm who you're talking to by reaching out to them.
- Were you told this by the TurboTax service while preparing your return?
- If so, then do so. It's not often this happens, but there are some situations when it's necessary. We'll walk you through things.
- Were you told this by the IRS communicating to you directly by mail or e-mail?
- If Mail: If the letter is legitimate, contact them telephonically on a secure line to find out more.
- If eMail: I'd contact them through direct contact numbers/forms on their site at www.IRS.gov to confirm they reached out to me with the letter, and explain the situation.
- If phone: Same as email. Confirm and go from there.
- Did you receive this before or after you successfully filed your return?
- Yes: This increases the likelihood it's a legitimate communication by the IRS.
- No: Be careful, contact them through direct contact numbers/forms on their site at www.IRS.gov...
I don't mean to sound alarmist, only cautionary. I look out for my Service Members.
