$6M JK Harris Settlement Approved

Charleston County Circuit Court Judge Perry M. Buckner III Monday approved a $6 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit involving JK Harris.

A judge has approved a $6 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit involving a high-profile North Charleston company, saying the proposed amount is as much as the business can afford to pay without possibly going bankrupt.

Charleston County Circuit Court Judge Perry M. Buckner III signed the order late Friday granting approval of the proposed settlement in the class-action suit against JK Harris & Co. The lawsuit was sparked by consumer complaints about JK Harris' heavily advertised tax-resolution services, which make use of an IRS program known as "offer in compromise." Under that program, taxpayers with substantial back tax bills can make an offer to pay less than the amount owed, which the IRS may or may not accept.

The plaintiffs had claimed that JK Harris charged them upfront for help resolving their back-tax cases, then failed to deliver the promised help.
