Turbo Tax Class Action Lawsuit

Turbo Tax is facing a class action lawsuit over false advertising.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified a class-action lawsuit against Intuit, the firm that owns the taxation software TurboTax, and a large segment of users may be eligible, the law firm leading the suit said.

The action was brought on behalf of all consumers who purchased the TurboTax online software since Jan. 1, 2015, to prepare and/or file their Canadian taxes, Toronto-based Ronchon Genova LLP said. The lawsuit stems from an advertising campaign for TurboTax, where the software was advertised as “free,” the law firm said.
