Letter from state

[wkoseck]

Just received a letter from (supposedly) my state (MI) Treasury wanting me to send them verification that the return I filed through Turbo Tax was really mine.  They want copies of 1099's, W-2's, Driver's Licenses, and SS info.  With all the fraud schemes around these days, I am really worried about sending this kind of data.  I have never heard of this kind of request from a state government.  What should I do?

It is more common than you may realize, but if you feel uncertain that the letter is legit, contact your state to ask if they sent you a letter requiring you to verify your identity.
