Specifically, Swanson says she was charged $29.99 for a “federal return” and $34.95 for a “Refund Transfer Fee.” The plaintiff alleges that H&R Block should not have charged her anything because her adjusted gross income was under $66,000. The plaintiff states that she was charged $64.94 to file her taxes though H&R Block’s software. 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.
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.
