.TurboTax users who have used the service in recent years are set to receive some of a $141 million settlement sometime over the next few weeks.

The $141 million settlement is being distributed after New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement that Intuit, TurboTax's owner, agreed to last year. Under the settlement, Intuit agreed to suspend TurboTax’s “free, free, free” ad campaign, which misled consumers to believe TurboTax's services would be free and also agreed to pay $141 million in restitution to the consumers who were unfairly charged, according to a press release from James's office.

The settlements will be worth anywhere between $29 and $85. Most eligible for this settlement are expected to receive either $29 or $30, though individuals who filed for three consecutive years could get up to $85.
