No one in the user forum has access to your TurboTax account.  If you need to change the password to your account, you can do that yourself.

Most important) Follow the IRS procedures for reporting a fraudulent return, documented here: www.irs.gov/uac/Taxpayer-Guide-to-Identity-Theft

  • Respond immediately to any IRS notice; call the number provided.
