Received this email this evening: Is this legit? 

Hi there. We’re confirming that... You're using a different TurboTax account this year. It's important that you contact us right away. TurboTax Customer Support: [phone number removed] We've noticed that someone attempted to fill out a tax return using your information with a different account. We are holding the tax return for 48 hours to give you the opportunity to verify it's yours or stop it. If we don't hear from you within 48 hours, this return will be filed in accordance with IRS filing regulations. Learn more Thanks, The TurboTax Security Team

This is a scam email. They are just trying to collect your personal information. The giveaway is the threat to file your return in 48 hours. In actuality, no one but you can authorize the filing of the return. You have to go through a series of steps to do this.
