Tax Fraud?
My husband hired a woman who works out of her home to keep his books for his 2 companies. She is not a licensed accountant, but yet she charges him $3000 a month and does his taxes, but then puts in there SELF PREPARED like she never did them. Like HE prepared them. Isn't this illegal?

Re: Tax Fraud?
This is not technically tax fraud. The tax return preparer MUST sign the returns she prepares. SHE is subject preparer penalties.
It sounds like you are paying a lot for the services. You should call your attorney to review the work and to determine if the bookkeeper is legitimate. Unfortunately, I have seen many clients who have had poor work done for them and it was only discovered when they received the IRS audit notice.
I hope this helps!
