One thought on “Intuit to pay $141M settlement over TurboTax ads touting free tax filing

  1. On a semi-related note, I keep wondering when an attorney(s) general is going to go after the online sportsbooks for advertising your first bet “risk-free” up to $2,000 or whatever. Spoiler alert: they don’t give you your money back if you lose.
