ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state has suspended the licenses of 40 tax preparers who state authorities say never filed their own returns in 2011 and 2012.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Wednesday that the disciplinary actions are part of the state’s effort to regulate the tax preparation industry. Cuomo’s office says more than 7 million New York residents use tax preparers.
