It seems that the IRS itself has some sort of glitch that is triggering these notices to go out unnecessarily.    You should be safe to ignore it and just get your return filed by the October 15 deadline.   We have been seeing some other posts from users who received these notices.

It is likely an error.   There have been A LOT of people receiving those needless letters in the past few days.  It is likely an IRS computer glitch (some people have commented that a late 2023 return seems to trigger it more often).   If you filed the extension, just ignore the letter.

Sorry--no there is nothing to enter on your tax return about that.   Only if you have been diagnosed as "legally blind" --then you get an extra amount on your standard deduction Higher Standard Deduction for Blindness   If you are blind on the last day of the year and you don't itemize deductions, you are entitled to a higher standard deduction.   Not totally blind.    If you aren't totally blind, you must get a certified statement from an eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) that: 1You can't see better than 20/200 in the better eye with glasses or contact lenses, or 2Your field of vision is 20 degrees or less.      If your eye condition isn't likely to improve beyond these limits, the statement should include this fact. Keep the statement in your records.     If your vision can be corrected beyond these limits only by contact lenses that you can wear only briefly because of pain, infection, or ulcers, you can take the higher standard deduction for blindness if you otherwise qualify.

Are you not sure what account you chose to have your refund sent to?   REVIEW REFUND METHOD https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refunds/help/how-do-i-review-the-federal-refund-method-i-chose-after-filing-with-turbotax-online/00/27417  

No.   If you requested a six digit IP it changes every year.     If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.       https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin  

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

I'm not sure why you would think spending $5,000 is within the realm of possibility (or the willingness) of a taxpayer who owns a house worth $175,000 (with a mortgage of $56,000) and has only SS income plus a spouse with an income of circa $100,000 when there seems to be a reluctance to spend even $450 on a consultation with a CPA. Clearly, there is a disconnect between your thought process and the reality of this situation.   Moreover, there is no "3500% payoff" if either (a) the taxpayer here never does use some sort of "Medicaid program" to pay for long-term nursing care (beyond what is covered by Medicare) OR (b) the taxpayer executes a QC deed in short order, which would appear to have little to ZERO adverse consequences in this case.      @Opus 17 wrote: 2. When I am at the edge of my own competency or beyond, I always try to recommend professional guidance.  In that event, you should really stop answering questions such as the one posed by the OP in this thread. Answering questions based solely upon your own personal experience is less than ideal and typically misleading.

It sounds like you may have overcontributed to your 401(k) plan.  Please see this link for more details as you may need to contact your plan administrator to have excess contributions returned.  You may be subject on penalties on the amount overcontributed.  The IRS has more information on how to resolve this overcontribution as well in this link.   @user17520112447 

It depends.   If the paid family leave was paid by your employer on your W-2, then it would be taxable on both your federal and state return.  If it was paid by the EDD and reported on Form 1099-G or paid by VPDI, then it would not be taxable on your state return.  See this link for more details.     If you determine your return is in error and you need to amend your returns, please see this link for more guidance.  

The form that you filed with the IRS is a tax return, not a transcript. A transcript is something you can get from the IRS that shows information from your tax return, but it is not a copy of your tax return. If you e-filed you didn't sign the tax return when you sent it to the IRS, so there is no way to get a signed copy from TurboTax or from the IRS. If you need a signed copy of your tax return, do what xmasbaby0 said: print it and sign the printed copy.
