TurboTax Settles for $141 Million, Millions of Users to Receive Checks

TurboTax will begin sending checks to nearly 4.4 million low-income Americans who were deceived into paying for tax services that should have been free. The $141 million settlement was reached in May 2022 between TurboTax owner Intuit and all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The company was accused of knowingly misleading customers and blocking its landing page for its IRS Free File Program. Customers who qualify will receive between $29 and $85, depending on the number of years they paid for the services.
