Beware of TurboTax email scams

A new week, a new scam. Hackers are trying to take advantage of TurboTax customers who may already be worried about tax fraud after a scare last week.

TurboTax suspended electronic filing of state returns for about a day after there was a spike in reports of fraud. After investigating, the popular tax preparer said that it has not been breached itself, and began filing forms again Friday evening.

But there’s another issue.

On Monday parent company Intuit (INTU) warned it has discovered three different email scams that are aimed at TurboTax customers.

The emails can look legitimate, but they’re not coming from TurboTax. One scam claims that someone has made three suspicious attempts to log into your TurboTax account. It provides a link where you must provide personal information before logging back into your account. The other scams also ask you to resubmit personal information before logging back into TurboTax.
