TAMPA -- A Palmetto woman has been indicted on fraud and identity theft charges in connection with $327,000 in income tax fraud, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
According to a news release, Latronda Brooks operated Magnificent Tax Services and used permission forms purportedly signed by the taxpayer that gave her permission to deposit and cash third-party tax refund checks in her bank account, less a "service charge" of up to 25 percent. Brooks spent the money on personal expenditures and did not provide any of the funds to taxpayers.
If convicted, Brooks faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
