Intuit Slams 'Flawed' FTC Ruling That TurboTax Ads Were Deceptive

Intuit accused the FTC of bias after a judge ruled it used deceptive ads saying TurboTax was free when it wasn't for many customers.
An FTC judge found Intuit violated consumer protection laws with TurboTax ads and ordered it to cease calling the service free unless it's free to all or most taxpayers.
Intuit said the FTC ruling was predetermined and flawed and vowed to appeal, saying it's confident it will prevail when the case goes before a neutral body.
The FTC defended its process as objective, saying staff have lost more cases than won before judges who are independent of the agency.
Intuit says the FTC claims are unfounded and it already follows most of the ad practices in the ruling, which has no monetary penalty or significant business impact.
