| The U.S. Justice Department sued H&R Block Inc. (HRB) to stop its proposed purchase of TaxAct, saying the companies’ merger would stifle competition and raise prices in the growing market for consumer tax-preparation software.
The department claimed in an antitrust complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Washington that the deal would eliminate a company that has competed aggressively with H&R Block and “disrupted” the U.S. digital do-it-yourself tax- preparation market through low pricing and product innovation.
