Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did the notification you received about your account being at risk come from Intuit or another verifiable source? Some notifications may appear legitimate but are from potential scammers attempting to get the recipient's information.

 

See here for information on how to contact TurboTax to confirm whether there is an issue with your account.

 

See this TurboTax tips article for more information about data security, phishing scams, and how to detect them.

 

If you believe your tax information may have been compromised, and you don't already have an Identity Protection PIN, the IRS recommends you use the Get An IP PIN tool in order to protect your tax account from tax related identity theft. The IP PIN authenticates you as the valid filer of the return.

 

See this IRS webpage for additional steps you can take to protect your identity.

 

See this TurboTax help article for information about using an IP PIN to file your return.
