This came in mail 4/20; I called Larson – he said someone anonymous called their office & reported that Gene Chaikin had a public advertisement saying he did people’s taxes – & they’re (Dept. of Consumer Affairs) inquiring because they have no record of Chaikin registered with Tax Preparers Program – which is required if you do other people’s taxes.
All the taxes returns that came over last week were mailed out to IRS & State Franchise Tax Board with return address, P.O. Box 15156 c/o Chaikin & this was put on the tax returns at Evelyn’s mother’s direction.
I want to call Larson Monday & explain Chaikin is an attorney, doesn’t do taxes, has been out of the country since Sept. 1977 & the whole thing is absurd – there is no such advertisement. Also explain that people do use the P.O. box as a return address. Ok?
