Some TurboTax users will soon be getting settlement checks

Peter Barreras / AP Images for Turbo Tax Via AP fileConsumers who recently filed tax returns with TurboTax but were eligible for the Internal Revenue Service's Free File program will soon start receiving checks as part of a multistate settlement with TurboTax's parent company, Intuit.Thursday from the Pennsylvania attorney general's office, eligible customers include those who paid to file federal income tax returns through TurboTax for the tax years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Per the terms of the settlement, eligible customers will receive a check in the mail automatically, without having to file a claim. Most are expected to receive between $29 and $30, the press release said. “By requiring consumers to pay for tax-return services that should have been available for free, Intuit cheated taxpayers out of their hard earned money,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry said in a statement.

“Intuit’s deceptive practices and aggressive advertising campaign were unnecessary and illegal; especially when the IRS offers free tax-return services for eligible consumers.”
