Channel 9 in Orlando reported today that the IRS raided a Kissimmee tax preparation firm called Taxes by Mr. Bill.
The company is being investigated on charges that it may have stolen their clients’ tax refunds. IRS agents stormed into Taxes by Mr. Bill with a warrant and came out with several boxes of documents.
Eyewitness News said that the raid was part of the IRS’s criminal investigation division’s tax fraud investigation.
Here’s the part of the report that makes me chuckle:
Customers who showed up to get their tax refunds said they were surprised when they found out the IRS was there and the tax office was suspected of ripping customers off.
I supppose had these customers known that Mr. Bill wasn’t running a straight ship they would have chosen I’m Gumby Damn It Taxes instead.
