South Carolina Tax Service Office Under the Scanner for Huge Tax Fraud

A franchise of Liberty Tax Service in South Carolina is facing federal charges after it transpired that they were swindling the Internal Revenue System (IRS) out of many millions of dollars by falsifying tax return claims of their customers. According to a consumerist.com report, the owner of the franchise is Christopher Paul Haynes and he will need a tax lawyer.

Haynes and his employees were supposedly so hell bent on cheating the Internal Revenue System that even when they knew their customers were being audited and that they themselves were under investigation for tax fraud they still continued to swindle away. Wow, that is like what Barney Frank did to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. After he knew these entities were in serious trouble he kept on offering ridiculous loans to home owners that could never afford to pay them off, among many other irrational and irresponsible things.

Apparently, the company achieved this by fabricating untrue, inflated tax returns by assigning their customers with imaginary jobs based on their hobbies and creating fictional children that simply did not exist. They should write books with an imagination like that! Liberty Tax Service franchises are distributed throughout America and the headquarters is in Virginia. There are as many as 4,000 of its franchises across the country.

Christopher Paul Hayes and his team run three such franchises across both Columbia and South Carolina. All three officers are now under close investigation. The Internal Revenue System and the US District Court claim that these offices run by Hayes are all regularly involved in filing fraudulent, frivolous tax returns for their customers, which are all very serious offenses and tax lawyers will be heavily involved in this case.

Oblivious Customers being Tricked by South Carolina Liberty Tax Services Franchise

It may seem like their customers are in on the scam. However, on closer inspection it was revealed by the Internal Revenue System that the customers were also being tricked by this office. They were asked to sign the forms declaring that they have gone through all of the details of the claim without any explanations or time say tax lawyers. Therefore, the customers were clueless about the fact they are technically indulging in tax fraud.

Shockingly it recently transpired that nearly every single claim that these offices have filed have been frivolous and almost entirely fabricated. A staggering 99% of the filings out of a total 1,500 in between January and April 2015 are all false claims for the IRS. That is about as fraudulent as Lois Lerner’s career.

In between 2011 and 2014, 202 federal tax returns that were filed by these Hayes’ offices were reviewed and it turned out that 96% of them would not add up. They were adjusted and manipulated and sometimes totally fabricated from scratch say officials who are investigating the case.

Why you need a tax attorney

Doing your taxes sure isn’t fun, but is very important and failure to file your taxes may land you in a lot of trouble as we are constantly reminded of. If you need help filing your taxes or if you have been wrongfully charged with tax fraud then what you need to notify a tax lawyer without any more reluctance. The IRS has a long memory and since America is in debt so much, the IRS is greedier than ever. A legal professional will be able to ensure that you do not go to jail for a crime you simply did not intend to commit.
