"Kentucky puts temporary hold on all e-tax returns"
 
 Kentucky is putting a temporary hold on processing all electronic tax returns because of fraudulently filed tax returns through TurboTax, The Kentucky Department of Revenue announced.

The party's just getting started, methinks.

2. TurboTax halts all state tax filings due to fraud concerns

Quote

The popular TurboTax software has temporarily stopped processing state tax refund filings in all states after reports of fraud increased.
Criminals may be using identity information (like a Social Security number) that was stolen from somewhere else to file fake returns via TurboTax and collect refunds.
In Minnesota, for example, some taxpayers recently logged into TurboTax and saw that a return has already been filed under their name.
Intuit (INTU), the company that owns TurboTax, said that itself has not been breached, but an investigation is ongoing. About 29 million people used TurboTax to file their tax returns last year.

98. So what's your policy on corrections, Will?

'Cause Turbo Tax wasn't hacked.

Intuit said in a release that “the information used to file fraudulent returns was obtained from other sources outside the tax preparation process.” The company called pausing e-filings to states a “precautionary step.”


Or to translate out of PR-speak, people used stolen information to file fraudulent returns through TurboTax. They didn't hack TurboTax.

A little like claiming bank robbers hacked the road when they drove off.
