WELL  NO ... only the free version is free.   If you needed anything that the free version did not cover then you are encouraged to upgrade to complete a correct return.   OR  you can use one of the IRS FREE FILE options instead ( if your AGI is $73K or less)  :  https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free 

 

AND there was/is  no law suit ...  there was a settlement ... 

 

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.

Profanity will get you banned.

and why do you think TT is always supposed to be free?  Intuit must pay its employees, and cannot give away all of its products and services for free.
