Federal Court Permanently Bars Orange County Based Tax Preparer from Preparing Federal Tax Returns
ORANGE COUNTY, California Monday, March 21, 2016, ---- The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California has permanently barred Stacy John Sanchez of Orange County, California, from preparing federal tax returns for others, the Justice Department announced today.
The civil injunction order prohibits Sanchez from acting as a federal tax return preparer and from owning, operating, or profiting from tax-return preparation businesses. Sanchez agreed to the entry of the injunction but did not admit the allegations in the civil complaint against him.
According to the complaint, Sanchez owned and operated 12 Liberty Tax Service franchise locations, primarily in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas. At these locations, Sanchez and his employees prepared federal income tax returns that, among other things, contained bogus Schedules C (Profit or Loss From Business), fake Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) information and falsely claimed dependents, the suit alleged. These fraudulent returns improperly generated federal income tax refunds and tax credits, such as the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Credit, for Sanchez’s clients, according to the complaint.
In addition, the complaint alleged that Sanchez and his employees prepared fraudulent income tax returns using stolen names and social security numbers and kept the bogus refunds generated by these identity theft returns. The estimated loss to the U.S. Treasury from Sanchez and his employees’ misconduct is at least $14 million, according to the complaint.

California Tar and Feathers Top Delinquent Taxpayers
California has adopted the old school method of tarring and feathering delinquent taxpayers to bring public humiliation and shame to certain businesses and individuals who cannot afford to pay the taxes they owe. In doing so, the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has recently mailed Notice of Public Disclosure of Tax Delinquency letters to the top delinquent personal income and business entity taxpayers who owe over $100,000 where the amount due is subject to a recorded notice of state tax lien.
These lovely little letters give those taxpayers notice that the FTB intends to publicly disclose their names, addresses, and amounts due on its public website during the week of October 12, 2015. The list will also include occupational or professional license information, including license number and status, and the names of principal officers and their titles. Businesses and individuals appearing on the list are subject to having their occupational, professional, and driver’s licenses suspended by the issuing agencies. In addition, California state agencies are prohibited from entering into contracts with taxpayers on the list for the acquisition of goods or services.
So what steps should one take if you appear on the list? Taxpayers who receive a Notice of Public Disclosure of Tax Delinquency letter may contact the FTB at (888) 426-8555 for personal income tax or (888) 426-8751 for business entity taxes, or they may contact a tax professional who can assist in removing you from the list and resolving the tax issue.
Although this type of public tar and feathering has the potential to destroy reputations and businesses, California believes this form of public shaming is worth it because the theory is that it will increase the chances of getting the taxes paid. At the Federal level, its against the law for the IRS to disclose personal tax information to any third party unless its necessary and particular to an actual ongoing investigation or audit. This is the complete opposite for the FTB. In fact, the FTB publishes and updates this public shaming list biannually.
Now a bit curious if you or someone you know might be on the list? The list of the top 500 delinquent taxpayers was updated on August 19, 2015, and can be viewed on the FTB’s website at https://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/Delinquent_Taxpayers.shtml#CORP.
If you need assistance concerning taxes involving the State or the IRS, do not hesitate to contact a tax lawyer in Orange County. The Orange County Tax Attorneys at Wilson Tax Law Group or www.wilsontaxlaw.com have experience in both State IRS and state tax matters.
