TurboTax to distribute $141M in settlement checks to eligible taxpayers.

Eligible TurboTax customers who paid for tax filing services that were advertised as free will receive their share of Intuit's $141 million settlement for allegedly using deceptive and unfair trade practices. Under the settlement, Intuit agreed to suspend TurboTax's "free, free, free" ad campaign and provide restitution to nearly 4.4 million consumers who used TurboTax's Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018. Impacted customers will automatically receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year. Checks will be sent out beginning next week and throughout May.
