FTC judge rules Intuit broke law, must stop advertising TurboTax as “free” (arstechnica.com)

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 love how it's gone so far beyond "We would like to assist people in paying their taxes."

"We would like to prevent the US government from examining the possibility of creating it's own online tax filing portal."

"We would like to advertise our product as free using government channels and grants only to then turn around after the user has input their most sensitive data into our database and attempt to wring them for $100.00 or not be bound by our privacy policy."
