After talking to the IRS I traced my 2021 taxes back to TurboTax. Someone filled my taxes illegally and had the money sent to there account. How do I get my money back?

TurboTax cannot do anything about someone using your identity to file a tax return.  It is up to the IRS.

 

 
 
When you discover another a tax return has been filed with your Social Security number, you'll use IRS Form 14039 to alert the IRS. When you complete this form, you'll indicate that someone has stolen your identity and it has affected your tax account since they have filed a return using your identifying information.
