WICHITA, Kansas (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department has sued the owner of a Garden City tax preparation business, alleging that his clients owe more than $2 million in unpaid taxes.

The civil lawsuit against Jose Lares and his Dinero Rapido Tax Service was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court. It seeks to permanently bar him from the tax-preparation business.

The complaint alleges Lares claimed false dependent exemptions and false filing statuses on customers' returns. It says IRS audits showed an average tax loss of more than $6,000 per return.

The business marketed its services to Garden City's Spanish-speaking community. The suit contends many of his clients were recent Mexican immigrants with little knowledge of U.S. tax laws.
