For the tax year W-2 in question....if you have a code Q in box 12 on your actual paper W-2 form from DFAS, then it shouldn't be a problem, but you'll still need to respond to the IRS. (again, assuming the communication was really from the IRS).
And, we sometimes do have to recheck.....but the state tax authorities are not the "IRS" and shouldn't be referred to that way......just to make your situation clear if your letter was from the state.
