TURBO TAX USERS TO GET REFUND

Turbo Tax users to get refund

If you used TurboTax to do your taxes, you may be getting a refund.  Intuit, the company that owns TurboTax, charged people who used the program to do their taxes…despite advertising that claimed the service was free.  As part of a nationwide settlement, 33,000 Iowans will receive $1.02 million from Intuit as restitution for being unfairly charged for using TurboTax.  Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says “Intuit manipulated internet search results to hide its free file services from eligible low-income consumers, and it steered them to expensive paid products through its advertising and marketing practices.”  Intuit will have to pay $141 million nationwide to consumers who were deceived.
