CA: Tossed tax files found

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Dissent

Beatriz E. Valenzuela reports that a bag of discarded tax files was found behind a Hesperia business. Thankfully, it was found by someone in law enforcement:

“It was a black canvas bag full of payroll files,” Hill said, with personal information such as Social Security numbers. “There were 12 to 14 bundles of files and two of them belonged to us.”

Hill learned the files had come from Accurate Accounting, the firm he used for his payroll.

It’s unclear whether the files had been stolen from the business, as Hill said the accountant claimed, or if they were improperly stored, as photographs from Hill seem to indicate.
