Overview. Letter 5747C, Potential Identity Theft During Original Processing TAC AUTH ONLY, is mailed to a taxpayer to notify them that the IRS received an income tax return using their name and Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number.
More In Help. The IRS proactively identifies and stops the processing of potential identity theft returns. You may receive a notice or letter asking you to verify your identity and tax return information with the IRS. This helps prevent an identity thief from getting your refund.
What this letter is about. We received a federal income tax return, Form 1040-series, filed under your Social Security number (SSN) or individual tax identification number (ITIN). To protect you from identity theft, we need you to verify your identity and the tax return so we can continue processing it.
The IRS uses Letter 474C to inform you of changes to your return, usually regarding some credit. Often, it means you owe less tax or will receive a bigger refund.
Once you are issued a lock-in letter, you will be given a telephone number to call the IRS for a modification. You will have 60 days to call the IRS. After that date, your employer must withhold income tax from your wages at a single rate with zero allowances.

I would say it most likely has to do with what you are claiming on your return. Certain returns are flagged based on credits and such that are abused so it could be something where you are claiming a monitored credit in an amount that also gets flagged. These cases are reviewed for potential fraud or ID theft.
Letter 5747C, Potential Identity Theft In Person Appointment: This tells the taxpayer to verify their identity and tax return information in person at a local Taxpayer Assistance Center. If the taxpayer didnt file, they can call the Taxpayer Protection Program hotline number on the letter.
