Federal Court Shuts Down South Florida Tax Preparers

On March 25, a federal court in the Southern District of Florida permanently enjoined two Miami-area tax return preparers and their businesses from preparing federal tax returns or operating any tax return preparation business in the future. The court ordered that they disgorge more than $60,000 in return preparer proceeds to the United States. The court also issued a narrower injunction against a third preparer and his business.
