If ruled against the company, the suit could allow millions of "free" TurboTax users to claim for losses or damages. Free TurboTax The FTC claims that Intuit is running a "bait-and-switch" operation for free TurboTax users, luring them in with the promise of a free service. However, after the user has gone through the lengthy process of entering all their personal information into the platform, TurboTax then demands a fee to file the return.

The FTC says that many users affected in this way simply pay the fee to get the process finished, with two-thirds of users who filed with TurboTax in 2020 were ineligible for the platform's free tier. The suit follows several months of wrangling between the FTC and Intuit, and comes shortly after the company agreed to pay out $141 million to settle a separate lawsuit brought by several US states over exactly the same accusation. Intuit had said that the settlement of this case, "affords the public all of the material relief the FTC seeks to obtain through this action," but the FTC continued to press its case, ruling that "the public interest warrants further litigation." "It is disappointing that the FTC staff has chosen to resume its lawsuit, especially in light of Intuit's settlement with all the state attorneys general, which we believe resolved the core of the FTC's complaint," said (opens in new tab) Kerry McLean, executive vice president and general counsel of Intuit.
