L.A. Area Preparer Booted from Business
A Los Angeles-area tax preparer has been permanently barred from preparing federal tax returns for others. The Justice Department alleged that returns prepared by Maria Teresita Viray of Reseda, Los Angeles County resulted in a loss of more than $45 million in tax revenue from 2008 to 2010. Viray operated TVDM Tax Services, MTV Tax Services and New Horizon Tax Services and had prepared thousands of returns since 2008.
