It depends, but probably not. More and more states (as well as the IRS itself) are taking extra identity protection measures. Some of these measures are totally random as they pick a taxpayer's name out of a hat, so to speak, to verify the identity of the taxpayer claiming the information on the return.
However, the measures of KY are stated on this website link: http://revenue.ky.gov/Get-Help/Pages/Tax-Fraud.aspx. The quiz that is mentioned does not ask for a W-2 or your driver's license to be sent anywhere. Because of this, do not call any number on the letter, but rather the main phone number of the Department of Revenue, which can be found on the official KY website: http://revenue.ky.gov/. Verify with the Department on the legitimacy of the letter, and if they verify it, only verify the information in person.
