Intuit (TurboTax and Credit Karma) settlements
Intuit owns both TurboTax and Credit Karma, and each has its own consumer settlement — which is why searching "Intuit settlement" returns two different amounts and two different payout stories. The $141 million TurboTax settlement, an agreement with all 50 state attorneys general over advertising paid tax filing as free, paid about $30 for each affected filing year automatically, with no claim form. The $3 million Credit Karma order from the Federal Trade Commission covered false "pre-approved" credit card offers and required filing a claim by March 4, 2024, paying about $49 to each of the 50,994 people who did. Intuit acquired Credit Karma on December 3, 2020, so the two cases concern different periods and different conduct.
