ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Maryland Comptroller's Office has suspended seven tax preparers in the state from electronically filing returns.
According to a news release the suspensions were handed out "due to a high volume of questionable returns from these preparers."
Here's a list of the seven tax filing businesses just suspended in Maryland.
- Carolyn Boice - 3723 Boarman Avenue - Baltimore, Maryland 21215
- Yadof Financial LLC, DF Bockarie - 9410 Annapolis Road, Suite 313 - Lanham, MD 20706
- Romaft Tax, aka Timothy Funso - 7926 Glenarden Parkway - Lanham, MD 20706

The businesses have now been referred to the Maryland Attorney General's Office and Department of Labor who together will investigate and determine if criminal charges should be filed.
"When licensed tax preparers defraud the State by filing unlawful returns, they not only hurt their customers, but they also deprive State government programs and services of funds they need to serve the needs of all Marylanders,” said Attorney General Brown. “Through our valued partnership with the Comptroller, my Office will prosecute those responsible and ensure accountability.”
The businesses can request an administrative review within 30 days from the suspension date.
Maryland's Board of Individual Tax Preparers maintains a list of all authorized tax preparers and all records of complaints against individual tax preparers.
Six other out-of-state tax preparers were also suspended.
