Alma Jean Batson, a San Bernardino tax preparer convicted of tax fraud last November, was found to have violated her parole and sentenced to 16 months in prison, state officials said.
State tax officials found that Batson, 54, the owner and operator of two Inland Empire tax preparation agencies, had continued to operate her tax business, a violation of the terms of the probation.
Batson had been sent to prison for 60 days after being found guilty of filing false reports on her own taxes.
