Yes, it could be. But it could be other reasons as well; it's hard to say specifically. Here's some standard IRS language regarding the CP05 notice:

We sent you this notice because we’re reviewing your tax return to verify:

The income you reported on your return
The income tax withholding amounts you reported on your return
The claims for tax credits you made on your return
The withholding claimed on your Social Security benefits
The household help you claimed
The Schedule C income you claimed

Normally with CP05 notices, you simply wait until they conclude their initial review and send you a letter. They may request additional info. They should've given you some sort of timeframe in the notice. In the meantime, you should assemble your documents and re-familiarize yourself with the return.
