Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders call for probe into whether Turbo Tax, H&R Block hid free tax prep options
Lawmakers call on two federal agencies to investigate tax software giants for allegedly steering customers away from free government-sponsored tax preparation options. Democratic presidential contenders Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Tim Ryan are among the lawmakers who signed the letters, which were sent to the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission. Recent reports claim that tax preparation companies H&R Bloock and TurboTax creator Intuit have been allegedly adding code to tell Google not to list the free versions of their online tax preparation tools.
