MIAMI, FL — A South Florida tax preparer, who was indicted by a Grand Jury in the Southern District of Florida on March 25, 2021, was arrested today. Samuel Mompoint, a resident of Miami-Dade County, Florida, is charged with seventeen counts of willfully aiding and assisting in the preparation and presentation of materially false tax returns for the calendar years 2014 and 2015.
According to allegations in the indictment, Mompoint operated Prime Tax Services, Inc., as a tax return preparation business located in Miami-Dade County. The indictment alleges that for the 2014 and 2015 tax years, Mompoint knowingly prepared fraudulent tax returns that represented that eleven separate taxpayers were entitled to receive false tax credits and deductions, including education credits, child and dependent care expenses, gifts to charity, and unreimbursed employee expenses.
