FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free”
The entire "tax filing software" industry shouldn't exist. The IRS should be required to maintain its own online filing system, and provide it to all Americans without charge. That costs money? They're literally the revenue service, I'm sure we can find some money for them.That's really the crux of this entire issue. Companies like Intuit have lobbied an industry into existence, and boy oh boy it's lucrative. Pointless "administrative courts" be damned, I like watching Intuit squirm.
