Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I give TurboTax my bank account number so the IRS can direct deposit my tax refund each year. Should I fear that the Russians now have my bank account number(s)?

Was my bank account number sent to the IRS by Turbo Tax retained at the IRS so that the Russians in their cyber attack n the U.S. Treasury now have access to my bank account?

If you entered your bank routing and account number for a direct deposit or a direct debit that was sent with your tax return to the IRS.

Questions concerning any breach in security concerning taxpayer's bank account records can only be answered the US Treasury.

Go to this US Treasury website for contact information - https://home.treasury.gov/utility/contact

Russians attacking your bank account through the US Treasury is the least of your worries for 2021.

There are more serious issues to keep you up at night.
