A federal judge this week ordered a Burbank tax preparer who allegedly bilked the IRS of roughly $6.3 million to cease operations.
U.S. District Judge Jacqueline H. Nguyen issued the permanent injunction Monday after federal prosecutors alleged that Anthony R. Loya, owner of Anthony R. Loya & Associates at 1303 W. Magnolia Blvd., understated taxes on 3,294 returns by $6.32 million — or about $1,920 per return.
Loya, who denied the charges on Tuesday, said the injunction would not impact the five other tax preparers at his office, and that he would continue to serve in a managerial capacity.
