Three Brooklyn tax preparers suspended for not filing THEIR OWN RETURNS
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the results of an initial crackdown on tax preparers, a service which over seven million New Yorkers use, with the suspension of 40 tax preparers who failed to file their own personal income tax returns for 2011 and 2012. Once suspended, preparers cannot legally complete or file a client’s state tax returns for compensation.
Three, Yvette Charoo Mathews, Joyce Henryhaynes and Calvin Preston, were from Brooklyn, according to the report. A quick Google search showed that Preston, of Calvin L Preston & Co, had an office at 192 Pulaski Street, according to the company’s Google+ page.
“These new rules were put into place to protect taxpayers and ensure those entrusted to prepare tax returns abide by real professional standards,” Governor Cuomo said. “By disqualifying those who fail to live up to their responsibilities, we are strengthening the system and ensuring that the millions of New Yorkers who use a tax preparation service receive what they paid for.”
