Why does it keep saying i log in here with a different device when i did not ???

@CroweShaun

You will get that email every time you signing o your account using a different computer or cell phone. You may want to change your password if you are not logging in.

what does this mean?

@Ltown49  Although you are posting on an old thread, the information provided is still accurate.  Check the e-mail and see the exact message.  If it states that your (TurboTax) account was accessed, this would be something that happened on a different device than what you used to initially prepare the return.  If you did this, there is no great concern.  If you have had no such activity, there should be a link in the e-mail to address any potential breach of your private information.  In this public forum we do not have access to your account.

Do you need assistance @Tmccullough?

Will that effect my return? I assessed my own account.

[CarissaM]

@craf80 It would not affect your return.
