TurboTax users in PA to receive checks for money owed to them

PA, (WOLF) — TurboTax users in Pennsylvania will be receiving money owed to them from a multi-state settlement against the company.

According to Attorney General Michelle Henry, consumers who were misled into paying for free tax services by TurboTax’s owner, Intuit, should expect reimbursement from a $141 million multi-state settlement.

All 50 states have signed onto the agreement.

Pennsylvania alone will receive ober $4.76 million for the 158,779 consumers who were tricked into paying to file their federal tax return. Checks are expected to be mailed this month.

Eligible consumers will be contacted via email. This includes those who paid to file their federal tax returns through TurboTax for tax years 2016-2018, but were eligible to file for free through the IRS Free File Program.

Consumers will receive a check in the mail automatically, without filing a claim. The amount each consumer receives will be based on the number of tax years for which they qualify. Most consumers are expected to receive between $29 and $30.
