Tax Lady Roni Deutch accused of duping consumers

California Attorney General Edmund Brown is suing TV's Tax Lady Roni Deutch for $34 million, claiming she duped thousands of consumers who sought her tax advice.

"Tax Lady Roni Deutch is engaged in a heartless scheme that swindled people with tax problems," Brown said in a statement. "She promises to significantly reduce their IRS tax debts, but instead preys on their vulnerability, taking large up-front payments but providing little or no help in lowering their tax bills."

Deutch is a licensed attorney who runs a tax resolution law firm in California. Her claims to fame are her frequent appearances on late-night cable TV, NBC's Today Show, CNN and CNBC.
