A class action lawsuit has been filed against H&R Block by a customer who alleges that the company redirects low-income taxpayers who are entitled to a free tax program to their fee-based tax filing products.
Plaintiff Aaricka Swanson says she paid for H&R Block’s online tax filing software in order to file her tax returns, despite the fact that she was qualified for the IRS Free File Program.
The plaintiff states that she was charged $64.94 to file her taxes though H&R Block’s software.
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy, President of Top Class Actions.
