So I heard that the class action lawsuit against turbo was settled and every year you had to pay for the editional Services you’ll Receive $30??? Is this true

Sort of. You’d need to read the decision to know the it applies to 2016-2018 and only if you were charged for free return AND Not referred to the free IRS  filing options. If you meet those criteria you’ll hear from them . If you don’t, you won’t.

kinda - if you used TT for the 2016- 2018 tax years and you could have used the Free File program (so incomes below $34,000), there is a class action settlement that will send about $30 per year back to the user.  Nothing for you to do, the settlement administrator will send the checks automatically.

it is not true.

Under the agreement, Intuit will provide restitution to taxpayers that were charged for filing their taxes while using the commercial TurboTax Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018 even though those taxpayers were eligible for the free version of TurboTax offered as part of the IRS Free File program, according to AP.

Consumers eligible for restitution will be automatically notified by the company, and will receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year. so about $90 max

You will get a payment only if you are a Covered Consumer as defined in the settlement agreement.

Here is the definition of "Covered Consumer."

"Covered Consumer" means any individual, or individuals if a joint return was filed, who in Tax Years 2016, 2017, or 2018 was (1) eligible to use an Intuit IRS Free File Product; (2) began his or her tax returns using a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (3) was informed that he or she was ineligible to use a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (4) subsequently paid to use a TurboTax Paid Product, and (5) had not used the Intuit IRS Free File Product in a previous tax year.
