  • The plaintiff hired the defendant to do his taxes. He claims his tax refund went to the defendant, not him. He’s suing for stolen money. The defendant argues he did nothing wrong and the refund was his payment.

      Nah, it depends on the complexity and the time required to file. A friend gets charged 2500/year for her taxes (independent contractor), at a local CPA. Many tax preparers charge 100-400/hr. I was charged a little over $1200 once.

    That is a high amount of money being asked for a simple tax return. I think this guy is taking advantage of people. Some of his clients are very poor and not knowledgeable. He then uses that to alter paper work so that the money goes into his account and then short changes the customer. The customer could get back $800 and he just says here is $200. To someone that is poor, they might think $200 is a lot of money and he just pockets the rest. Kind of shameful if that is what he is doing. He also was trying to pull one over on the judge with the paperwork he was giving her.

    The more I listen to these cases, the more I begin to realize that a lot of times, the information that Harvey is relaying is inaccurate as it relates to the case. He often mixes up details. The amount of the refund was NOT the same as the fee for preparing the taxes. It was clearly stated that when the defendant forwarded the tax refund to the plaintiff, he had DEDUCTED the (bogus) fee for tax preparation.
