Virginia Preparers Gets 30-Month Sentence

Written by 

Timothy Harris, who operated two tax preparation businesses in Virginia, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison. Harris, age 49, must also pay $335,389 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.

He pleaded guilty in July to aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false tax return.

Harris owned and operated TNA Tax Services and TNT Tax Services, which were located in Danville and Rocky Mount, Va.

Harris used a variety of techniques to boost client refunds. After the IRS revoked his Electronic Filing Identification Number in December 2012, he used another person's EFIN to continue filing returns. Harris admitted his conduct caused a tax loss of more than $250,000.

He was originally indicated on 24 counts for returns prepared and filed for nine different clients.
