Email on dark web

This email isn't likely from TurboTax. Do not click on any links in the email. It's probably phishing.

@ben_keno EDITED after original response:

So it looks like you purchased MAX benefits when you filed last year. One of the features of the MAX benefit is IDNotify, which does monitor dark web activity. Based on the information I'm sharing below, you SHOULD click on the link within the email to see retrieve your message from IDNotify. You'll be asked to sign into your TurboTax account to retrieve the message.

How do I sign in to IDNotify?
