California Tax Preparer Agrees to Ban
A tax preparer based in Gardena, Calif., has been permanently barred from preparing federal income tax returns and other tax-related documents for others. Simon Jenkins, who operated under the name, Jenkins Tax Service, had already pled guilty to one count of aiding and assisting in the preparation and presentation of false income tax returns.
