Details are not yet available.  If you are eligible you will receive a notices and a check in the mail.  You had to start using the TurboTax Free edition for any tax years 2016 thru 2018 to be eligible.

Does anyone ever read the full articles that are published ?   

 

The settlement will affect 4.4 million customers eligible for the I.R.S. Free File program who were maneuvered to use TurboTax’s free edition in the tax years 2016 through 2018. Customers will be notified automatically and sent checks amounting to roughly $30 for each year that they were compelled to pay for TurboTax.

@Perch4 -  while I don't know for sure, I do wonder if the ongoing complaint from the Federal Trade Commission is holding this up.  While the 50 states have agreed to a settlement with Intuit, the FTC has not - and there is a hearing scheduled for March, 2023.
