US appeals court tosses FTC order against Intuit over TurboTax advertising

A U.S. appeals court has overturned a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) order that prohibited Intuit from deceptively advertising its TurboTax products as “free” for simple tax returns. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it violated the constitutional separation of powers for an administrative law judge to decide a deceptive advertising claim. This decision effectively dismisses the FTC’s previous injunction against Intuit’s advertising practices.
