It sounds like you're looking to disconnect your TurboTax account from your Credit Karma account. Let's get started right away!
Step 1: Accessing Your Intuit Account
To begin, you'll need to access your Intuit account. This is the central hub for managing your TurboTax and other Intuit services.
- Navigate to the Intuit Website: Open your web browser and go to the official Intuit website. You can usually find it by searching for "Intuit login" or directly typing in their web address.
- Locate the Sign-In Option: Look for a "Sign In," "Log In," or similar button on the homepage. It's typically located in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
- Enter Your Credentials: Use the email address or phone number and password associated with your TurboTax account to log in. If you've forgotten your password, there should be a "Forgot password?" link to help you recover it.

Step 2: Navigating to Account Settings
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Once you're logged into your Intuit account, you'll need to find the section that manages your account settings and connected services.
- Look for a Profile or Account Icon: After logging in, you'll likely see an icon representing your profile or account. This could be a person-shaped icon, your initials, or a similar visual cue. Click on this icon.
- Access Account Settings: From the dropdown menu or the page you're directed to, look for options like "Account Settings," "Profile," "Manage Account," or "Connected Services." The exact wording might vary slightly, but the general idea is to find the area where you can manage your account details.
Step 3: Identifying Connected Apps or Services
Within your account settings, you should be able to find a list of applications or services that are connected to your Intuit account.
- Search for "Connected Apps" or "Linked Accounts": Look for a tab or section specifically labeled "Connected Apps," "Linked Accounts," "Security," or "Data Access." This is where you'll find a list of services that have been granted access to your Intuit data.
- Carefully Review the List: Once you find the list, carefully examine each entry to identify "Credit Karma." It might be listed under its full name or as part of an Intuit offering that includes Credit Karma.
Step 4: Unlinking Credit Karma
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Once you've located Credit Karma in the list of connected apps or services, you can proceed with unlinking it.
- Locate the Unlink or Disconnect Option: Next to the "Credit Karma" entry, you should find an option to disconnect or unlink it. This might be a button that says "Disconnect," "Unlink," "Revoke Access," or an "X" icon.
- Confirm the Unlinking: Clicking on the disconnect or unlink option will likely prompt a confirmation message. Read this message carefully to understand the implications of unlinking the accounts. If you're sure you want to proceed, click "Confirm" or "Yes."
Step 5: Verifying the Unlinking
After you've confirmed the unlinking, it's a good idea to verify that the connection has indeed been severed.

- Refresh the Connected Apps List: Refresh the page or navigate back to the "Connected Apps" or "Linked Accounts" section to see if Credit Karma is no longer listed.
- Check Your Credit Karma Account (Optional): You can also log in to your Credit Karma account to see if there's any indication that it's no longer connected to your TurboTax data. However, the primary confirmation will be within your Intuit account settings.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Important Considerations:
- Data Sharing: Unlinking your accounts will typically stop future data sharing between TurboTax and Credit Karma. However, data that has already been shared might still reside within each platform.
- Features and Benefits: Keep in mind that unlinking your accounts might affect any integrated features or benefits you were receiving as a result of the connection.
- Troubleshooting: If you encounter any difficulties during this process, Intuit's help center or customer support can provide further assistance. Look for a "Help" or "Support" section on the Intuit website.
