I received a letter from the IRS that someone filed under my SSN. Do I need to do the affidavit?

The letter said that I can just log in to my irs.gov account and then verify if it was me but if it wasn't just select the "NO, I did not file" option.

I already selected the "No, I did not file" option and I also will not be filing this year because I did not have any income in 2025. I have also opted for an IP PIN already.

Do I still need to do the Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit)? There was no instruction on the letter to do this form.

Thank you!

How to protect ourselves from State Tax fraud?

I understand that getting an IP PIN yearly from the IRS would protect us from federal tax fraud but what about State Tax fraud?

Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves? Or would a rejected federal tax return also mean rejected state tax?

Thank you
