What does the $141 million settlement mean for TurboTax users?
The $141 million settlement deal between Intuit, the maker of TurboTax tax-filing software, and all 50 state attorneys general means that some 4 million affected taxpayers who were deceived by misleading promises of free tax-filing services will be compensated.
Why did TurboTax settle the lawsuit?
The settlement comes after the company was accused of using deceptive advertising practices, specifically in products that are supposed to be free for working-class filers who are legally entitled to file their taxes for free. While TurboTax denies any wrongdoing, they are on the hook for over $100 million in settlement cash, per the lawsuit.
What happened to Intuit TurboTax?
Intuit agreed. Only a few months later, Intuit reached a $141 million settlement with the FTC in an effort to make the whole thing disappear. That $141 million isn’t going to the FTC – it’s going to TurboTax users around the country.
Did you have to pay to file taxes with TurboTax?
Intuit is providing restitution to nearly 4.4 million people in all 50 states who used TurboTax's Free Edition between tax years 2016 and 2018. These people were told they had to pay to file, even though they qualified for the IRS Free File program, a partnership between the agency and major tax prep software companies.
