FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free”
Intuit plans appeal, slams FTC's "predetermined decision."
Hasnain says:
“In a separate case involving all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, Intuit, in May 2022, agreed to pay $141 million in 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," New York Attorney General Letitia James' office said at the time. Under that settlement, Intuit was required to stop its "free, free, free" ad campaign.”
