IRS Received Verification of Non-Filing Request for My 2024 Taxes on Feb 7, 2025 - Should I Be Concerned About Identity Theft?

I just checked my transcripts and received a concerning verification notice from the IRS about my 2024 taxes. According to the letter dated February 07, 2025, they received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return for the December 2024 tax period (1040_SERIES). The letter states explicitly that "As of the date of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above." Here's the full text from the notice I received: "Tax Period: December, 2024 Return: 1040_SERIES Information About the Request We Received On February 08, 2025, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the date of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above. If you have any questions, you can call 800-829-1040." Does anyone know what this verification of non-filing request means and if I need to take action? Why would someone be requesting verification of my non-filing status? The contact number provided is 800-829-1040 for questions, but I wanted to check here first to understand what I'm dealing with. The thing that's particularly confusing is that they received this verification request on February 08, 2025. How can someone be requesting verification for 2024 taxes already when the filing deadline isn't until April? Should I be concerned that someone is making inquiries about my tax filing status? Is this some kind of identity theft attempt? I'm worried because there's some text at the top of the notice that seems to be about potential loss or property, though part of it is cut off or unclear. There's also something that appears to say "AMENDED" and "PROGRAM INSPLANED" but I can't make out the full context.
