tax collectors

Xael Charters is suing Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez, asking a federal court to bar him from effectively shutting down their business over alleged illegal activity in Cuba, and to declare that a state law cited by Fernandez is unconstitutional.

As part of an effort to crack down on business relationships with Cuba and strike at the heart of the communist government, Miami-Dade's tax collector has revoked key licenses of more than two dozen companies that allegedly do business in Cuba, according to enforcement letters seen by WLRN. A critic calls the move a "fiscal drive-by."

Under a settlement signed by the attorneys general of all 50 states, Intuit Inc. will suspend TurboTax's "free, free, free" ad campaign and pay restitution to nearly 4.4 million taxpayers.

Smaller budgets, fewer employees and increased duties have added up to taxpayer frustration this filing season. The IRS is establishing a "surge team" to put resources on the processing challenges.
