What accounts are you referring to?  Bank account, credit card account, something else?

 

If you used the TurboTax online editions to complete and file your tax return you have to sign onto your account using the exact same User ID and password used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

No TurboTax online accounts have been compromised  or hacked.

Those are awful problems to have----but they are not the kind of problem we can help with in this user forum.   You need to report the stolen account information to your bank and credit card companies, your phone service provider, and the police.

this is what the American Institute of CPAs suggests

Organization What to Do

Credit Agencies
1) Report the identity theft to the fraud department of one of the following reporting agencies as soon as possible. They must notify the other two agencies.
• Equifax: equifax.com
• Experian: experian.com
• TransUnion: transunion.com
2) Request a copy of your credit report and request that only the last
four digits of your Social Security number be placed on the report.
3) Close accounts that you think have been compromised or opened
fraudulently.
4) Inform the credit bureaus and the credit issuers (in writing) of any
fraudulent accounts and incorrect information.
5) Obtain replacement credit cards with new, secure account numbers
and destroy any old cards.
6) Notify those who have received your credit report in the last six
months to alert them to any disputed, fraudulent or incorrect information.
7) Confirm that an extended fraud alert (seven years) is placed on your
credit report.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
1) Report the crime to the FTC to establish an Identity Theft Affidavit.
Identity Theft Victim’s Complaint and Affidavit.

Local Police
1)Report the crime to your local police or sheriff’s department. Make
sure to prompt as much documented evidence as possible.
