(FoxNews) The parent company of TurboTax, the country's most popular do-it-yourself tax preparation software, halted transmission of state e-filing returns for nearly 24 hours over fears of fraudulent filings.
Intuit said it resumed filing of state returns at about 6 p.m. Eastern time Friday with increased fraud protections, a day after it halted them.
In a statement released on Friday, Intuit said that, along with some states, it had seen "an increase in suspicious filings and attempts by criminals to use stolen identity information to file fraudulent state tax returns and claim tax refunds."
