- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. NIA DANIEL and NIA HELP SERVICE, LLC. Case number 1:24-cv-21449 SD Fla
As of April 18, 2024
The Justice Department’s Tax Division filed a civil injunction suit to permanently bar Nia Daniel and her tax return preparation business, Nia Help Service LLC, from preparing federal income tax returns for others.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleges that Daniel prepared over 2,000 federal income tax returns from 2020 through 2024 and that she employed a variety of schemes to understate her customers’ tax liabilities and overstate the refunds to which they were entitled. The complaint alleges that Daniel made up false businesses on customers’ returns, knowingly reported fake or inflated business expenses and fraudulently claimed various credits like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, American Opportunity Credit and Residential Energy Credit – usually without customers’ knowledge. The complaint goes on to explain that Daniels falsified customers’ income and filing statuses to increase the amount of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
According to the complaint, the United States has been harmed by Daniel’s conduct, resulting in the significant loss in tax revenue of more than $500,000 in 2023 alone. In addition to seeking an injunction, the government requests an order of disgorgement to prevent Daniel and her business from profiting from their violation of the internal revenue laws.
