About a week ago, I received an email from a company called “Credit Karma” and they said that they have merged with “Turbo Tax” “Intuit” and that they need additional info from me to prove that I am who I say I am. Without these items, I won’t be able to use the Intuit Turbo tax to do my taxes for my 2020 taxes. They say they cannot just “pull” the data from Intuit even though I have used Intuit online for the past three years. Following are the things I can supply them with: pictures of documents that I send as .jpeg attachments to an email. Either copies of TWO Primary documents or One Primary document AND ONE Secondary Document.

Primary documents include:
Driver's License or State ID
Passport
Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
Military ID

Secondary documents include:
Another primary document
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
Social Security Card
Full utility bill: must include-full name

Yes, they are a legitimate company and have merged with Intuit TurboTax.

However, I don't see why you received this type of email if you have a TurboTax account all you need to do is sign onto your TurboTax account with the User ID and password you have used in the past.

Will forward this message to the TurboTax Moderators of this forum.
