New York suspends tax preparers – for not filing taxes
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office has suspended 40 tax preparers, including one at practitioners H&R Block, for failing to file their state income tax returns in 2011 and 2012. State tax commissioner Thomas H. Mattox commented: “It’s this simple: If you don’t file your own taxes, you shouldn’t be allowed to file returns for other New Yorkers”. All have the right to challenge the penalties
