Checks will automatically be mailed throughout May.
How do you know if the check is real?Įligible consumers will be sent an email by the settlement fund administrator, Rust Consulting. More: Is the IRS really texting you? No, it's one of many tax scams. Intuit provided the Free Press with the following statement: “Intuit is pleased to have reached a resolution with the state attorneys general that will ensure the company can return our focus to providing vital services to American taxpayers today and in the future.” Michigan consumers who are eligible in the group will receive more than $3.5 million. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have signed onto the agreement.
About 4.4 million tax filers nationwide are owed money. Michigan is part of a multistate $144 million settlement, first announced in May 2022. Do I have to fill anything out?Ī key warning: Consumers do not have to fill any forms, pay anything or provide any account information to receive a payment, if they qualify for the multistate settlement. Some lower-income consumers will still be out cash, as some could have paid around $100 for some services. Individuals who filed for three consecutive years could get up to $85, according to a statement by the New York Attorney General. How much money a consumer gets is based on the number of tax years they paid for services that could have been free. The returns in question involve tax years 2016, 2017, and 2018. Instead, those consumers were "tricked by TurboTax’s owner Intuit into paying for free tax services," according to a statement by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Many consumers had low incomes and would have qualified for the Internal Revenue Service Free File Program. This month, out-of-the-blue checks for around $29 to $30 each are expected to arrive in the mailboxes of more than 122,000 Michigan consumers who paid too much to get their taxes done via TurboTax. Every now and then, you get an oddball check in the mail and wonder "What's this all about?"
