This is a public web site that can be seen by anyone--including scammers and identity thieves who would love to contact you and pretend to be from TurboTax. The filter removed some of your personal information but not all of it. You can return to this post and click the three little blue dots on the upper right to edit out your name, etc.
You have posted about your issue multiple times in the forum, and have already received replies. TurboTax cannot help you with your legal issues, nor can a tax software company help with prosecuting someone who you think stole your identity. Posting the incident number here is of no use. If you have not already done so, file a police report for the identity theft and let the authorities help you. If you have been the victim of tax-related identity theft you inform the IRS:
