The government alleged that Warren prepared income tax returns for some customers falsely claiming that they were engaged in profitable businesses in order to maximize refunds based on the earned-income tax credit. She was also accused of falsely claiming the first-time-homebuyer credit on at least 190 returns in 2009. Examples included claiming .as much as $8,000 for customers who did not purchase houses in 2008. The injunction requires Warren to mail a copy of the order to all taxpayers for whom she has prepared a federal tax return since Jan. 1, 2007, and to give the government a list of those customers.
