TaxSlayer $1.1M California Privacy Claims Settlement

California TaxSlayer customers who provided their information to the company between Feb. 6, 2018, and Nov. 17, 2022, may qualify to claim a cash payment from a class action settlement.

TaxSlayer LLC agreed to pay $1,100,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law. The lawsuit claimed TaxSlayer used certain digital technologies on its website that improperly disclosed customer information.

Who is eligible for a TaxSlayer payout?

Eligible class members include:

• Individuals who were customers of TaxSlayer during the period from Feb. 6, 2018, to Nov. 17, 2022
• Those whose contact information is on file with TaxSlayer and will be provided to the settlement administrator for notification and claim purposes.
• Recipients of a notice from the settlement administrator indicating they are potentially eligible.

How much can class members receive?

• Pro rata payment: $840,000 will be divided equally among all approved claimants. The amount each person receives will depend on the number of valid claims submitted.

No portion of the settlement fund will be returned to TaxSlayer. If any funds remain after all payments and check expirations, those funds will be distributed to the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs for future consumer protection and privacy work.

Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit lawsuit alleged TaxSlayer’s use of certain digital technologies on its website violated California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law by improperly disclosing consumer information.

TaxSlayer denies any wrongdoing, and the court did not decide in favor of either party. Both sides agreed to settle the case to avoid further litigation and provide compensation to affected consumers.
