This is a public Internet forum.  Please do not post any personal info in this public forum.  It looks like the forum privacy filter automatically removed it for your protection. 

Are you unable to access your Online TurboTax account and  referring to your password to log into Online TurboTax?

If so, here's how to reset your password and regain access to your Online account.  It may also show you if you have multiple accounts without realizing it.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the Account Recovery tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first--if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below. 

You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session:

https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If still no luck after running that on your phone number that you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

SAME HERE 😠

This thread has multiple users with multiple password issues, and it's not clear which one you are saying "same" to.   If you need to reset a password to regain access to your Online account, the answer about using the Account Recovery tool has been provided several times in this thread.   The tool may even discover you have more than one account, which could also be a cause for a password failure; i.e., one might be using the correct password but on the wrong account.

  I can provide the steps again, but I don't yet know with certainty what your "same" issue is.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

In the absence of any info, I presume you are referring to your online TurboTax account as opposed to a desktop product's password-protected tax file.  We can tell you how to reset an account password and recover account access.   You might even discover you have more than one account, which is common.

 

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

 

If you still can't regain access after all that, here's to phone TurboTax Support during business hours, Monday-Friday 5AM-5PM Pacific (8AM-8PM Eastern).
