Which "username?"   Are you referring to the forum display name (i.e., your Community name) you are using above to post your question?

 

Or are you referring to your Intuit account User ID to log into TurboTax and other Intuit products?

 

If you want to change the username for this forum display purpose, a Moderator has to do it for you, and if so, we can alert one to contact you.

@ sandreini 

I've asked a Moderator to assist you with your forum username.     I'm not sure if you will be contacted in email or a private message.

 

Unfortunately, there is no way a user can change one's community user name on their own; i.e., the one that displays in this forum.  Changing the Intuit Account user ID will not change the forum username.  but the Moderator is all-powerful and can do it for you.  😁

I have the same problem.  Didn't realize the name would become my publicly visible one

Are you referring to the user profile name that is displayed in this user community forum?  Or are you referring to your Intuit account User ID that you use to log into TurboTax and other Intuit products?   If the Intuit User ID, you change that yourself in the Intuit Account settings.

 

If you mean the forum profile name that you are using to post in this forum, then a Moderator would need to do it for you.  I've asked a Moderator to assist you during business hours.

 

BTW, the forum privacy filter automatically removes email addresses.   You should not post any personal info in this public Internet forum.

Oh I mean the Intuit products. There is no option to do so. I tried everywhere and there is not a link for that. Thanks for the quick response 😉

 If you want to change your Intuit User ID, log into Online TurboTax account.   In the left menu column scroll down and click Intuit Account.   Then in the account settings click on "Sign In and Security".

 

See this FAQ for more information on changing your TurboTax login User ID:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/account-management/help/how-do-i-change-my-turbotax-login-user-id-or-password/00/26384

If you don't see "edit" as mentioned in the FAQ, look for a little arrow to click just to the right of the listed User ID..
