I received an email saying I filed a tax extension with TurboTax but I definitely didn’t. Can anyone help me figure out why?

You might be a victim of identity theft. I would get an IP Pin.

 

The IP Pin will change each and every year. This is an Identity Protection Pin.

Thank you for the response. When I called support they told me that this was an automated message and that I actually had no file extension on record. I was very concerned about identity theft at first but thankfully was assured that is not the case.
