Intuit is apologizing to TurboTax customers for blindsiding them with a de facto price increase on TurboTax Deluxe desktop. CEO Brad Smith told attendees at the company's annual meeting this week that the company botched the change in which schedules C, D, E, and F were removed from Deluxe and made available only in the Premier edition at a higher price.

A tax preparer who is a former Internal Revenue Service employee has been indicted for allegedly filing false claims for $3.4 millions in tax refunds. Clive Henry of Jamaica, N.Y., faces a 20-count indictment for allegedly defrauding the United States government, along with Rodney Chestnut, of Middle Island, N.Y., a retired New York City Department of Corrections officer; and Nafeesah Hines, a former U.S. Food and Drug Administration employee, also of Jamaica, N.Y.

Intuit's change to standard features of its TurboTax Basic program has led to complaints it effectively raised prices for many of its users. One major change is taxpayers with Schedule A now must use the higher-priced TurboTax Premier. And competitor H&R Block is trying to capitalize on what it hopes is the anger of TurboTax customers.
