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 feel like this might be a good time to plug the IRS Free File Program. It's a program that allows lower-income people to file their tax returns for free. While the program has been gutted in recent years by companies like Intuit leaving the program to either stop offering their services for free or to start offering a "free" alternative, it's still viable. I used it last year to file my taxes.
