Kenya Hendrix Adams, a notorious tax preparer, has been accused of causing millions of dollars in losses to the U.S. Treasury through her tax scam operations. According to a federal court complaint, Adams has repeatedly prepared federal tax returns that understated her clients’ federal tax liabilities.
The suit alleges that Adams did so by falsely claiming or inflating tax credits or fabricating deductions. This is one of the Internal Revenue Service’s “Dirty Dozen” tax scams, a list of the most common and egregious tax scams that the IRS tracks.
The Justice Department has obtained injunctions against hundreds of tax-return preparers and tax-fraud promoters in the past decade. The U.S. government has now sought a permanent injunction against Adams, seeking to bar her from preparing tax returns for others.
Between 2007 and 2012, Adams prepared almost 2,000 returns, with 88 percent of those returns understating the filing taxpayer’s liability. The harm to the U.S. Treasury as a result of her conduct could be in the millions of dollars.
