This illegal act allows fraudsters to claim tax refunds from state governments.<\/p>\n<p>An internal TurboTax investigation has found the breaches are not due to a problem with its own systems, but criminals digging up the personal information elsewhere. The company said the investigation is ongoing. Intuit says it&#8217;s working with state tax officials to get the e-filing security back to where it needs to be to turn it back on. TurboTax customers who already e-filed their state returns don&#8217;t have to do anything. The returns will be transmitted again when the problem is resolved, TurboTax says.<\/p>\n<p>The e-filing halt only affect state returns.
