IRS CID Visits Local EA

Recommended Posts

Today the IRS CID and the Eugene Police Financial Crimes Unit visited an EA located several miles from me.

Supposedly she had been taking funds from her payroll client's checking accounts, comingling the funds with her own money

and spending it on personal expenses without making the payroll tax deposits for her payroll clients.

Whenever I read stories like this, I am always amazed.

How did they ever think they would get away with something as obvious as this ???

Pretty obvious. I recently got a client whose taxman left our community some 30 or so years ago relocating into the Richmond area. He came down with   covid-19 and she needed help likely for 2022 only. She advised he did not efile which occurred to me as quite odd. That is until I saw the prior year return with no signature or any indication it had been professionally prepared only the two word notation in the preparer field denoting it was prepared by the taxpayer. He has likely been getting away with this for years with no none ever turning him in.
