Sadly this is not the place for sympathy on this matter ... this has been going on for years and there have been no successful lawsuits on this subject no matter what the link you posted suggests. At no time was TT (or any of the other free file participants) required to advertise the IRS FREE FILE site so they did not. They complied with all regulations of the contract so if the IRS failed to properly advertise the FREE FILE alliance option is it not their fault. Failure of the user to comprehend the posted information is not a failure of any of the FREE FILE alliance companies. There were 10 in the alliance and because TT and H&R Block are the big dogs in the park they got the most attention but all the companies did the same thing so be careful if you want to use one of the FREE FILE options to always link in thru the IRS site ... www.IRS.gov ... the free file option will be a button on the home screen if you WAIT until they open it in January.
