- In the settlement, Intuit agreed, among other things, to certain required disclosures and business practices regarding the advertising and marketing of free products; to not seek to rejoin the
IRS's Free File Program from which Intuit previously had withdrawn voluntarily; and to pay a total of$141 million , most of which is to be distributed by a Fund Administrator to provide restitution to certain eligible consumers, with residual funds going to the AGs of the settling states.
