8. Why did I receive a letter asking for my driver’s license and Social Security card?

A letter has been sent to you requesting that you submit copies of your Driver’s License and

Social Security card because the State of Michigan has received more than one return with

your Name and/or Social Security number. We require verification of your identity prior to

issuing a refund.

Please respond to the letter as requested regardless of your filing requirements with the State

of Michigan.
