IRS agents serve search warrants on phone refunds
Continuing the phone refund saga, the Internal Revenue Service filed search warrants in seven cities this week in response to what IRS agents are calling egregious claims for phone tax refunds.
The IRS slapped warrants on tax-prep businesses in these cities: Atlanta, Dallas; Tyler, Texas; Athens, Texas; Riverside, Calif.; Miami and New Orleans. Agents closed the businesses and seized both computers and documents, the IRS reported today.
Thus far, I've received no reports of similar investigations in the Triad.
