Is the turbotax class action lawsuit real?

I received an email, here is part of it. Want to make sure it's not a scam:

WHAT IS THIS NOTICE? A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit (In re Intuit Data Litigation, Case No. 15-cv-1778-EJD (N.D. Cal.)) about taxpayers whose identities were used to file fraudulent federal tax returns by someone else using Intuit’s TurboTax service for tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016 (for which tax returns were filed in calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively). The lawsuit claims that Intuit failed to adequately prevent the filing of these fraudulent tax returns in their names. Intuit denies any wrongdoing and the Court has not ruled that Intuit did anything wrong or violated any law. This Notice is not intended to be an expression of any opinion by the Court with respect to the truth of the allegations in this action or the merits of the claims or defenses asserted.

Yes, that is legitimate

But if you join the class be aware that the lawyers will get the lion's share of any settlement and you may get $2 if you are lucky ... don't hang your hat on this at all.

Don't let the fact that you might not get a ton of money deter you from joining the lawsuit. The deserve to pay as much as possible.
