So it’s no wonder that many Americans turn to tax software from companies like Intuit’sTurboTaxfor help.
Now some people who used TurboTax may be eligible for a payment as part of a recent settlement.
Here’s what to know.
The online news siteProPublica has reported extensivelyon this in a series it dubbed “The TurboTax Trap.”
Who can get money from the TurboTax settlement?
It’s a very specific group of people.
That group includes nearly 4.4 million people.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia are included.
What needs to be done?
You shouldn’t have to do anything but wait for your money.
If you’re eligible, you should have already received an email stating that you’re included.
Check your email account, including those spam folders, as you may not have been expecting this email.
Questions can be submittedvia the settlement website.
How much money will people get?
The actual amount each taxpayer will receive will be spelled out in their individual email.
When will the money be sent?
But it doesn’t seem to be a priority for Congress at this time.
But will we see that anytime soon?
