TurboTax owner Intuit agreed to pay $141 Million to settle a claim from all 50 states and the District of Columbia that it deceived nearly 4.4 million Americans into paying for tax services that should have been free, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday.
Why it matters: The states alleged that TurboTax deliberately steered qualifying customers away from free federally supported tax filing products and toward its aggressively advertised and paid filing services.
