In the matter of: 

Intuit Inc., Docket No. 9408 a corporation, 

Respondent. 

OBJECTION TO RESPONDENT INTUIT’S “SUPPLEMENTAL FILING CONCERNING ORAL ARGUMENT” 

On November 2, 2022, Respondent Intuit filed an unauthorized surreply in 

opposition to summary decision labeled a “Supplemental Filing Concerning Oral 

Argument.” As no Rule or order gave leave for such a filing, it should be disregarded.0F

1 

Complaint Counsel does not object to Intuit’s lodging of exhibits RX 200, 201, and 202 

on the record, which are high resolution versions of the three video advertisements that 

Complaint Counsel played at oral argument on October 31, 2022. Compare RX 200, 201, 

and 202 with GX 321, 300, and 200, respectively.1F

2 But the rest of Intuit’s filing is 

1 Intuit is aware that leave is required to make additional filings under Rule 3.22(d), as it sought such leave as recently as October 26, 2022. See ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/ pdf/D09408%20-%20RESPONDENT_S%20REQUEST%20FOR%20LEAVE%20TO

%20FILE%20REPLY%20IN%20SUPPORT%20OF%20MOTION%20FOR%20DISCOVER 

Y%20PURSUANT%20TO_RULE_3_36.pdf. Though in doing so, Intuit did fail to meet 

and confer with Complaint Counsel before filing, in contravention of paragraph 4 of the

Scheduling Order. (Captioning that particular filing as a “Request” rather than a “Motion” does not allow Intuit to elide the requirements of the Scheduling Order, just 

as captioning the instant filing as a “Supplemental Filing” rather than a “Surreply” does 

not allow Intuit to elide the requirements of the Rules of Practice.) 

2 In its “Supplemental Filing,” Intuit misrepresents to the Commission that all three

videos shown at oral argument were “taken from third-party websites”—the “Lawyer” 

ad, GX 300, was produced by Intuit, INTUIT-FFA-FTC-000528222, as noted on the

presentation slide (a copy of which Intuit first received on October 24, 2022). And 

though the “Auctioneer” ad, GX 200, came from YouTube, it was from the official 

TurboTax YouTube channel, where Intuit posted it.
