Anyone get an AdSense email today? Please review your tax information.

I received an email today saying I had changed my tax information but I had not done so. I didn't click the link in the email but signed in to my account. I updated my info anyhow just in case. By update I mean input the exact same information as existed before.

I went to the Google Help Forums and it appears it was sent to a lot of people in error. I can't link the thread so here's the message someone received from them.

"Dear publisher,

Thank you for reaching out to the Support team.

Please disregard this message, and rest assured that it wasn’t the result of unauthorized access or changes to your account. No action is required on your end.

I didn't goof anything up by reentering the same tax information did I?

Yeah, I got that as well as the email before about the tax change. However, I didn't change any of my tax information and my heart literally skipped a beat when I saw this.
To be honest I don't think you goofed too badly.
