If I used TurboTax to prepare my tax return; but, the IRS is reviewing my return for fraud, what should I do?

TurboTax software ensured I had no errors or suspicious entries on my return before I filed it electronically.

@mark-shuler  do nothing; wait for any correspondence from the IRS

 

how do you know your tax return is being reviewed for fraud? 

 

what date was your tax return accepted by the IRS? (i.e. the date you e-filed?)

I contacted the IRS today and the rep explained to me that my return was flagged for fraud.  Consequently, the IRS will send me a letter in about 180 days from date they received my return which was 6/6/2025.

@mark-shuler there is simply nothing for you to do other than wait for their correspondance.
