TurboTax Settlement: Consumers to Receive Checks

4.4 million low-income Americans will receive payments ranging from $29 to $85 as part of a $141 million settlement with Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, over allegations of deceptive marketing practices that steered customers into paying for tax preparation services instead of using a free government program. The settlement covers the years 2016 through 2018, and eligible consumers will be contacted by email and will not need to file a claim. Intuit did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement.
