- s3p 4y agoPer the article, it's $30 per person per year.
- ezfe 4y agoIt's not everyone who used TurboTax, just people use use the Free Edition which is what this lawsuit is about.
- spiderice 4y agoNot sure I understand.. if they used the Free Edition, shouldn't they not have paid anything? I'm guessing that is the crux of the issue, but I guess I always assumed Turbo Tax got you started on the Free Edition then tried to upsell you. Sounds like they charge you money while keeping you on the Free Edition?
- ezfe 4y agoThe Free Edition doesn't support most use cases so it's not really free. According to the article, iirc, it supports less than a quarter of tax returns.
- smachiz 4y agosmh, couldn't even read a press release: >nder the agreement, Intuit will provide restitution to nearly 4.4 million consumers who started using TurboTax’s Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018 and were told that they had to pay to file even though they were eligible to file for free using the IRS Free File program offered through TurboTax. Consumers are expected to receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year that they were deceived into paying for filing services. Impacted consumers will automatically receive notices and a check by mail. $30/year per person who shouldn't have paid TurboTax is not nothing.... especially for people who would have qualified for the free filing program. Getting $60 back is a pretty good day for them. That's a days work at minimum wage.
