Client Reviews of James A. Sanzone

From 'Tax Fraud Blotter' "Grand Rapids, Mich.: The U.S. has asked a federal court to permanently bar Jim Sanzone, who does business as Lakeshore Professionals LLC, from preparing federal returns for others. The complaint alleges that Sanzone inappropriately claims deductions and credits for clients, resulting in undeserved or inflated refunds. According to the complaint, Sanzone claims false deductions and credits by fabricating or inflating claims for charitable contributions, medical expenses, mortgage interest, and state and local taxes paid on returns that he and his business prepared since 2010. Sanzone also allegedly fakes business expenses to fraudulently reduce clients’ taxable income and allegedly prepares returns that falsely claim education credits." In the five years I have been doing taxes I have done numerous amended tax returns on returns prepared by Jim and his company
