Have You Used Instant Tax Service or Tax Tree?  You may be contacted by the IRS.

A U.S. District Judge has ordered Instant Tax Service and Tax Tree, LLC to cease and desist operations – immediately.  Back in 2009, Instant Tax Service was heralded as one of the strong up and coming new businesses.  Fraud, deception, lies, incorrect tax filing, all beg the question “How does this impact taxpayers who used this tax preparation service?” Pat Michael, EA and principal of US-TaxLaws says, “three years of back returns need to be reviewed immediately and fixed if necessary.  In the past the IRS has had a field day auditing clients of ‘Questionable Preparers’, and there is no telling where this will lead.”   Pat Michael is licensed in all 50 states, and has clients in 21 states.  Pat further added, “On a more personal note –  how many filers did not receive the correct refund they were entitled to because of bad tax preparation?”

In 2010 the IRS conducted random audits of returns prepared by Instant Tax Service franchises and found over half were non-compliant.  Of the 24,000 returns, prepared by 5 franchisees,  an estimated tax loss to the government from those franchisees alone exceeded $16 million in 2011, and we all know the government does not like to lose revenue. If you or someone you know has used Instant Tax Service, now is the time to contact US-TaxLaws at 619-589-8680 and speak with a tax professional who can help you.
