Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Very misleading subject and the reply from Cindy0H is misleading (albeit maybe unintentionally). NO you do not need to file consent for the following one: "turbotax use of tax return information to limit offers." (Of course you give consent when it's at the final e-filing stage; but that is very different from the early consent they ask for.)
As to the consent request early in the process, I'm grateful to @jasonandammygabler for this translation of that legalese gobbldee-**bleep**:
You DO NOT need to sign this form to successfully file your taxes with Intuit. On the same page you saw this request for consent there is a "Learn More" link which show the following popup. It's basically a sneaky way of saying "We want you permit us to access to your tax filing info for purposes other than filing taxes so that we can target you for the sale of other products and services and probably also make money selling your information to third parties."
The extra nose-wrinkling sneaky part is that you have to fill out the form with names and dates and then you click the "Decline" button. You cannot leave the page until you fill the form.
