The Justice Department filed a civil complaint seeking to bar Christopher Brown and his business, Superior Taxes LLC, from preparing tax returns after alleging they filed returns claiming false filing statuses, inflated expenses and bogus credits, causing more than $5 million in alleged tax losses from 2022–2024. DOJ said the action is part of ongoing efforts to enjoin preparers who push clients into fraudulent returns and inflated refunds.

On February 10, 2026, the Department of Justice filed a civil suit aiming to shut down Christopher Brown and his tax preparation business, Superior Taxes LLC, in Miami Gardens, alleging repeated preparation of fraudulent federal returns that produced over $5 million in tax losses between 2022 and 2024. The complaint charges that the preparer systematically claimed false filing statuses, exaggerated or fabricated business expenses, and claimed ineligible credits including the Earned Income Tax Credit and certain energy and education incentives. DOJ alleges the defendants steered clients into schemes designed to maximize refunds through deception rather than accurate filings, and seeks injunctive relief to bar them from preparing returns and accessing IRS e-file services. The civil action continues broader Justice Department efforts to protect the tax system from unscrupulous preparers who exploit low‑income taxpayers and undermine voluntary compliance. If granted, the injunction would prevent further preparation of fraudulent returns and aid IRS efforts to recover improper refunds and impose penalties.
