FTC is suing TurboTax for its bogus "free" filing commercials

The Federal Trade Commission announced today that it's suing TurboTax maker Intuit for "deceiving consumers with bogus advertisements pitching 'free' tax filing that millions of consumers could not use."

From the FTC press release:

The Commission alleges that the company's ubiquitous advertisements touting their supposedly "free" products—some of which have consisted almost entirely of the word "free" spoken repeatedly—mislead consumers into believing that they can file their taxes for free with TurboTax.
