Mayuen K. Ajak, Yier B. Deng, Bol C. Guot, Gabriel M. Kuot, and Golden D4 Heart Tax Services LLC face the music as the Justice Department takes a stand against their alleged tax preparation fraud scheme.
A civil injunction suit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking to permanently bar the defendants from owning or operating a tax preparation business and preparing tax returns.
The complaint, which includes demands for the defendants to disgorge the return preparation fees they obtained by preparing allegedly false or fraudulent tax returns, alleges that the defendants prepared and filed tax returns to falsely increase customers’ refunds.
According to the complaint, the defendants, as well as those acting in concert with the defendants or at their direction, utilized various schemes to make unlawful claims on customers’ tax returns and to overstate their refunds, including falsely claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit, fabricating businesses and related business income and expenses, claiming false fuel tax credits, claiming fabricated COVID-19-related tax credits, and claiming false education credits.
The IRS estimates the harm to the United States in the form of underreported income and unpaid taxes from the defendants’ misconduct could exceed $10 million. This staggering amount is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of tax preparation scams on individuals and the government.
The Justice Department’s Tax Division has obtained injunctions against hundreds of unscrupulous tax preparers in the past decade, and taxpayers are urged to remain vigilant against unscrupulous tax preparers. The IRS provides guidance on choosing a tax return preparer and has launched a free directory of federal tax preparers.
The public is encouraged to contact the Tax Division with details if they believe one of the enjoined persons or businesses may be violating an injunction.
