Bookkeeper accused of keeping $400K in North Carolina taxes
RALEIGH, N.C. —North Carolina revenue officials say a bookkeeper at a Concord-based business has been arrested and accused of keeping more than $400,000 in state and county taxes for the company.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported the woman also is accused of keeping more than $260,000 in income tax from employees' paychecks.
Sixty-one-year-old Barbara Butler of Harrisburg was arrested Wednesday and was charged with two counts of embezzlement of state property and one count of embezzlement by a public officer or trustee.
Butler was the secretary treasurer and bookkeeper for Butlerbuilt Motorsports Equipment, which sold customized seats and other gear for race cars. Warrants say the money was used for the company, not for Butler personally.
It was unclear if Butler has an attorney.
RALEIGH — The secretary/treasurer and bookkeeper of Butlerbuilt Motorsports Equipment, a Concord-based vendor of customized seats and other gear for race cars, was arrested Wednesday on charges that the company kept more than $400,000 in state and county sales tax and $261,000 in income tax from employees' paychecks from as far back as December 2003.
Barbara Butler, named in three arrest warrants obtained by the state Department of Revenue, was listed in those as Barbara Beard Butler and on Wake County arrest records as Barbara Jean Butler.
Butler, 61, of 8263 Addison Drive in Harrisburg, was being held in the Wake County Detention Center in lieu of $1 million bail for a first court appearance Thursday in Wake County District Court.

Here’s How Shady Tax Preparers Plan to Steal Your Money
Fraud among fly-by-night, seasonal tax preparers who open up shop in vacant storefronts and trailers costs taxpayers billions of dollars each year. It has prompted the IRS to seek to regulate tax preparers by requiring education courses and examinations
Every tax season, Elmer Kilian takes out a wooden homemade shingle that says E.H. KILIAN’S TAXES and puts it out in front of his house in rural Wisconsin. The 82-year-old Korean War veteran has prepared locals’ taxes on his dining room table for the last thirty years, helping around 100 people in the town of Eagle file to the IRS, from the local grocer to the neighbor down the street. He charges $40 for a basic filing and a little extra for the frills.
Kilian is one of more than 600,000 paid tax preparers who are virtually unregulated by the IRS. Many are as scrupulous as Kilian is, but fraud among fly-by-night, seasonal tax preparers who open up shop in vacant storefronts and trailers costs taxpayers billions of dollars each year. “It’s not just one or two bad apples. It’s pervasive,” says Chi Chi Wu, an attorney for the National Consumer Law Center. “And these problems persist.”

Don’t Lose Money Because of Sloppy Bookkeeping
Condos and HOAs
Living with Rules
by: Lisa Magill, Esq.
About 2 ½ years ago I wrote about a case involving the Wellesley at Lake Clark Shores HOA which lost out on collecting close to $2,000 in interest and late fees and also lost out on collecting a whopping $10,000 in attorney’s fees due to bad recordkeeping. The Court, in that case, said that the association’s accounting methods were “woefully inadequate” to collect money as a result of the Claim of Lien filed against the property.
Another case with a similar result was recently issued by the Fourth District Court of Appeal. In that case, Plaza 3000 had problems with a particular owner over the years. Maintenance assessments were rarely, if ever, paid on time and they were always arguing what was actually due and owing. The lot owners complained that Plaza didn’t credit checks on a timely basis and that resulted in improper interest charges against the account. Meanwhile, the owners often marked checks with a restrictive endorsement (i.e. “paid in full”).
Plaza wound up recording a claim of lien and commencing foreclosure proceedings against the owners. It claimed there was approximately $26,000 due on the account, some of which for interest charges.
The owners filed several counterclaims in response as well as raised many affirmative defenses. One of the counterclaims was for Slander of Title. Slander of Title occurs when someone falsely alleges an ownership interest in the property of another, or when someone disparages the property interest of another. The elements of slander of title claims are:
(1) Defendant communicated to a third person;
(2) A statement disparaging plaintiff’s title;
(3) The statement is untrue; and
(4) Defendant’s communication caused plaintiff to suffer actual damages.
The owners claimed that the claim of lien recorded in the public records and the lis pendens recorded as a result of the foreclosure slandered title to their property. The trial court (lower court) dismissed this counterclaim because they found that the owner failed to allege actual damages (element #4). The appellate court disagreed and found that if the lien prevented the owners from obtaining a conventional loan that meant they had to pay higher loan costs and higher interest. The owners also claimed that they lost a contract to sell the property, couldn’t rent out the property and suffered from credit problems. These were all special damages that supported the counterclaim.
The appellate court reversed an award for attorney’s fees for Plaza 3000, since the trial court didn’t make a finding that the counterclaim was “completely frivolous or entirely lacked merit”.
In the end the appellate court found that Plaza 3000 didn’t prove it was owed any portion of the $26,000 it included in the claim of lien and since Plaza refused to accept payments tendered by the owners (even with the restrictive endorsement) it couldn’t collect interest or attorney’s fees on any assessments that came due after the claim of lien was filed.
This case again shows the importance of crossing “t’s” and dotting “i’s” when it comes to accounting records and the obligation to accept payments on account, even if for less than the full amount due.
