n re: Intuit Data Litigation,Case No. 15-cv-1778-EJD
District Court for the Northern District of California
Case Summary
During tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016 (for which tax returns were filed in calendar years 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively), some taxpayers’ identities were used by someone else to file fraudulent federal tax returns using the TurboTax service. This lawsuit claimed that Intuit (the “defendant” in this lawsuit and the operator of TurboTax) failed to adequately prevent the filing of these fraudulent tax returns. “Plaintiffs” in this lawsuit are six of the taxpayers whose identities were used by someone else to file fraudulent federal tax returns using TurboTax. Intuit denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not ruled that Intuit did anything wrong or violated any law. The Notice is not intended to be an expression of any opinion by the Court with respect to the truth of the allegations in this action or the merits of the claims or defenses asserted.
