The FTC has banned TurboTax from advertising services as “free” unless they are free for all users without restrictions.
TurboTax was fond of advertising free tax preparation only for you to use the service and get told you didn’t qualify. This bit me as well.
I hope the upcoming free tax filing solution from the IRS kills their product. 😡
