SANTA ANA, Calif.—A Buena Park tax preparer has been ordered by a federal judge to stop assisting anyone in submitting tax returns after it was determined he helped clients claim more than $50 million in bogus refunds, according to the judge’s ruling, which was made public Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter enjoined Jose Pineda and his business—Anaheim-based ABK Income Tax & Travel Inc.—from helping to file federal tax returns and other tax-related services, according to the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
