Tax preparation and financial software company Intuit announced an AI-focused reorganization plan Wednesday that includes laying off about 10% of its workforce.

U.S. regulators have barred TurboTax maker Intuit Inc. from advertising its services as “free” unless they are free for all customers, or if eligibility is clearly disclosed.

In a settlement agreement last year, TurboTax’s owner Intuit Inc. was ordered to pay $141 million to low-income consumers who were deceived into paying TurboTax to file their federal returns — despite being eligible for free, federally-supported tax services.

New York's attorney general is announcing that the company behind the TurboTax tax-filing program will pay $141 million to customers across the United States who were deceived by misleading promises of free tax-filing services.

The Federal Trade Commission is suing TurboTax maker Intuit, saying its ads for “free” tax filing misled consumers.

Many people do their own taxes, using software like TurboTax, but some may want to find help filing for any number of reasons.

TurboTax posted a message Friday morning:"We are happy to share that stimulus payments will begin to be deposited on January 8th for millions of our customers affected by the IRS error. We have been working tirelessly with the Treasury and IRS to get stimulus payments to our customers. We know how important these funds are for so many Americans and we regret that an IRS error caused a delay. Click here to check the status of your stimulus check

A number of taxpayers who use tax preparation services, such as H&R Block and TurboTax, say their second relief payments were sent to the incorrect bank account, forcing them to wait longer for their money. Some payments are also being sent via paper check or debit cards during the month of January. However, many people said that they checked the IRS site and found their payments were sent to an account they did not recognize. “We are partnering with the IRS to help taxpayers receive their payments as quickly as possible." The payments are automatic, and people should not contact their financial institutions or the IRS with payment timing questions.
