A tax preparer has been ordered to pay over $46,000 for failing to heed a judge's order. As a result, she has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. D.G.B. worked as a tax preparer in Wisconsin for about a year. In 2010, however, she was told that she could not work as a preparer after she failed to provide proper counseling to her clients. She did not heed the warning and continued working with clients. As a result, many of her clients had tax documents that were incorrect or contained many errors.

Since D.G.B. went against the order to stop working, a judge fined her over $46,000 as per federal law. Her own bankruptcy filing is likely to be thrown out, one insider says, since she did not include several vital documents. D.G.B. is one of six tax preparers that have been named in federal cases in Wisconsin alone last year. Filing for bankruptcy is never easy as there are many legalities involved.
