Shares of Square (NYSE: SQ) have plunged today, down by 9% as of 12:40 p.m. EDT, following a report from The Wall Street Journal that the Credit Karma is in talks to sell its tax preparation business to the mobile payments company. Tech stocks in general have also been selling off today following lackluster earnings from the biggest companies in the sector.
