A tax preparer in Richmond County will spend nearly four years in federal prison for running a million-dollar scam through an unlicensed tax business in Augusta. Judge J. Randal Hall ordered him to repay the stolen money and remain under supervision for three years after his release. The business broke federal rules by hiding who prepared the tax forms. Those who picked the "I'm Not Scared" plan could get up to $30,000 in made-up returns. "Brown undermined the American tax system and the trust of taxpayers relying on his expertise," said U.S. Attorney Margaret Heap, according to WRDW.
