Las Vegas Instant Tax Draws Ban

Instant Tax logoThe co-owners of the Instant Tax Service franchise in Las Vegas have agreed to an injunction that would bar one from preparing federal tax returns for others and enjoin the other from violating federal tax and consumer protection laws. Benyam Tewolde drew the ban on preparing taxes, while his wife, Yordanos Kidanits, agreed not to violate the laws.
The case is one of five suits against Instant Tax franchisees and the parent franchisor. A trial has been scheduled for May on the government's request to shut down the Dayton, Ohio-based franchisor and its owner, Fersum Ogbazion.

The couple did not admit allegations against them. Besides agreeing not to violate tax and consumer laws, Kidantis and the franchisee company, Koraggio LLC, were also barred from making loans, such as holiday, instant cash or advanced products offered based on information obtained from customers' paystubs.

Tewolde and Kidanits, who operate several locations in Nevada, were alleged to have helped employees in their offices prepare returns with fabricated businesses and income, falsely claiming educating credits, and bogus filing status and dependents. They were also accused of selling deceptive loan products, filing returns without customer authorization and preparing fake W-2s from paystub information.
