The first version of Quicken was coded in Microsoft's BASIC programming language for the IBM PC and UCSD Pascal for the Apple II by Tom Proulx and had to contend with a dozen serious competitors. The two started Intuit, which initially operated out of a modest room on University Avenue in Palo Alto. On his quest to find a programmer he ended up running into Tom Proulx at Stanford. Intuit was conceived by Scott Cook, whose prior work at Procter & Gamble helped him realize that personal computers would lend themselves towards replacements for paper-and-pencil based personal accounting. The company was founded in 1983 by Scott Cook and Tom Proulx in Palo Alto, California.

Īs of 2021, Intuit is the subject of multiple lawsuits, state-level investigations, and is under investigation by the FTC. Subsequent investigations by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the New York State Department of Financial Services reached similar conclusions, the latter concluding that Intuit engaged in “unfair and abusive practices”. In 2019, investigations by ProPublica found that Intuit deliberately steered taxpayers from the free TurboTax Free File to the paid TurboTax Free Edition using tactics including search engine delisting and a deceptive discount targeted to members of the military.
