The FTC has filed a complaint against H&R Block for allegedly misleading consumers about its free tax filing products and wrongfully deleting user data. The FTC claims that H&R Block made false claims, made it difficult for users to downgrade to cheaper products, and committed "data-wipes." H&R Block denies these allegations and emphasizes their value, expertise, and pricing. This action follows the FTC's recent scrutiny of tax filing software providers and highlights alternative free filing options for taxpayers.
