Did the IRS request that you verify your identity?   TurboTax cannot help with that---TurboTax does not know if what you entered in the software was correct or truthful.   You have to deal with the IRS yourself to verify your identity.

Have you talked to the IRS?  Did they not tell you what steps you need to take for them to investigate?

 

If you can't get info from the IRS, you can try contacting the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for your area.    They are especially prone to help if you have an economic hardship, or if there have been continued delays with lack of info from the IRS.    At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.    If the Taxpayer Advocate can't/won't help you, ask them to transfer you to an an IRS agent.  A couple of users reported that at least for them, that was a backdoor route to the IRS.

"some one assuming my I I identity?"

 

if you know this is the case, you can submit Form 14039 Identity Theft Affidavit.

there you can explain the situation,

point out that IRS is holding up your refund, and attach a copy of any letter(s) they sent you.

You will include photocopies of driver's license or other ID documents, per the instructions for the form.
