All About The Settlement And Filed Lawsuit:

This settlement is made to resolve the class action allegations against Intuit. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to protect consumers’ personal information.

The Inuit TurboTax class action lawsuit was filed in 2015 by plaintiffs.  They allegedly filed fraudulent tax returns through the TurboTax service.

According to the settlement the Class members will get free monitoring for tax return. Also, Intuit has adopted new security measures to prevent further fraudulent activity.

But, there will no compensation for estimated 915,000 affected consumers for expenses related to fraudulent.

Although the settlement does not provide monetary relief, it allows consumers’ to pursue the case further for compensation for expenses. The Class counsel has asked for $2.8 million to the company as compensation for attorneys’ fees, costs.
