It’s about time that Intuit was called out for their scam. Hopefully, the attempt to stop the federal tax filing will get dismissed as well.

I remember one time I spent an hour filing taxes, I accidentally hit a premium option, it literally didn't let me go back to free. On top of that it kept piling on charges. Fuck intuit. Thieving pieces of shit.

HRBlock is the same.

I refused to use them ever again after they tried to charge me $300 when it was listed as “free”

My brother accidentally hit premium a few years ago and the free option is just gone for good for him. It's such bull shit. I've never paid with turbo tax and was convinced he was doing something wrong. Nope, it's literally not available anymore for him.
