I received an alert from ID Notify saying that my email had appeared on the Dark Web, and that I should sign into my TurboTax account. I don't see anything on here?

Was this a "Phishing" email or is it real?

We can't know in a user community if your specific email is legitimate or not.   However, IDNotify is a product offered as one of the benefits if you purchased the optional MAX benefits or Premium Services (the latter is for California users who chose to "pay out of Federal refund.")   Those add-ons include IDNotify services of ID theft monitoring, identity restoration services, and identity theft insurance.  If you purchased one of those add-ons, did you receive an email afterwards with information on how to sign into IDNotify?
