WHY SHOULDN'T I DRIVE YOUR BIG RIG?
March 04, 2005
For the same reason you shouldn't hire a big rig driver to do your tax return:
WASHINGTON D.C. -- The Justice Department announced today that a federal court has permanently barred a St. Louis truck driver, Charles B. Eden, from preparing federal income tax returns for customers. In entering the civil injunction order, Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri found that Eden "continually and repeatedly" understated customers' tax liabilities on their returns "by fabricating or grossly inflating their tax deductions." The order describes Eden's conduct as "fraudulent and deceptive." The order stated that the IRS estimates that Eden's activities over the last five years have cost the government nearly $3.5 million.
