Kansans will share in the settlement that was announced yesterday with Turbo Tax.  Attorney General Derek Schmidt says that about 40,000 Kansans will share in over $1.1 million from Intuit, the parent company of Turbo Tax.  The settlement is the Kansas share of the $141 million settlement announced yesterday in a suit by all 40 states and the District of Columbia.

In addition to the monetary settlement, Turbo Tax must suspend its “free, free, free” internet advertising campaign.  The multi-state investigation found that the company was using deceptive digital tactics to steer low-income consumers away from federally funded, free tax services and toward their own commercial products.
