Intuit Wants Suit Over 'predatory' TurboTax Fee Tossed

Tasha and Fredierick Smith used TurboTax Online in February 2011 to file their 2010 tax return and Intuit charged them $86.90 for the tax-filing services, a fee the Smiths' opted to have taken out of their refunds, according to a complaint they filed in January in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Intuit also charged them a $29.95 "Refund Processing Fee" that set up a direct-deposit account, in which the U.S. Internal Revenue Service deposited their federal refund about two weeks later, according to the suit.

That fee amounted to a "refund anticipation loan," a "predatory" financial instrument from which companies like Intuit make ample profits, according to the suit.

"Thus plaintiffs paid $29.95 for an approximate 14-day loan of $86.90," it states. This resulted in an "exorbitant quadruple-digit interest rate" that was in violation of California's usury laws, according to the suit.

The Smiths also used TurboTax Online for tax years 2008 and 2009, and similarly deferred paying the preparation fees, resulting in the "exorbitant" $29.95 charge, it adds.
