Attorney General Hilgers Announces Distribution of Settlement to Nebraskans Deceived by TurboTax Owner Intuit
Eligible consumers include those who paid to file their federal tax returns through TurboTax for tax years 2016, 2017, and 2018 but were eligible to file for free through the IRS Free File Program. Consumers who are eligible for a payment will be notified by email by the settlement fund administrator, Rust Consulting. These consumers will receive a check in the mail automatically without filing a claim. Checks are expected to be mailed out in the near future.
In 2022, the attorneys general from New York, Tennessee, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington, announced a $141 million multistate agreement with Intuit for deceiving millions of Americans into paying for tax services that should have been free. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have signed onto the agreement.
