A federal grand jury in Michigan charged three tax preparers on July 9, 2026, with conspiracy to defraud the United States and with filing fraudulent returns on behalf of clients, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
The grand jury is seated in the Eastern District of Michigan. According to the Justice Department, the alleged conduct stretched across three years.
The indictment carries two categories of charges: a conspiracy count tied to defrauding the federal government, and separate counts related to the preparation of false returns.
