The man in the article below got busted for some serious crimes. He is lucky that he got off with five years of probation and no jail time. As an employer, which he was, who withheld taxes from his employees, he was obligated to turn over the employee withholding taxes to the government. The government considers these withholding taxes as “trust” taxes, relying on the integrity of business owners to collect the taxes, then to turn them over. Essentially when an employer does not turn over the taxes it is considered theft and the owner is charged with a federal crime. Owning a business can be stressful and having the IRS filing tax liens on your business does not help. If you want to run a truly successful business, seeking payroll tax help, from a legitimate tax service, is highly recommended. Tax Resolution Services – with our professional tax team comprised of tax attorneys and Certified Tax Resolution Specialists – can help you resolve your payroll tax debt problems today. Putting your payroll tax issues behind you will allow you to truly focus on your business. Don’t resort to forgery and deluding the IRS, like the guy below, because you will really pay for your crime!
Michael Preuss, 51, of Troy, Ohio, was sentenced to five years of probation for impeding the IRS from collecting more than $49,000 in unpaid withholding taxes.
In addition to his probation, Preuss must pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $49,916.77.
Preuss pleaded guilty to one count of corrupt endeavor to impede employee of the United States acting in an official capacity under the Internal Revenue laws. He fabricated a release form for his bank account which had been levied by the IRS for collection of unpaid withholding taxes.
Preuss had been the sole proprietor of Bullies of Piqua and owed $49,916.27 in back employee withholding taxes to the IRS at the time he sold the business in October 2006.
The IRS subsequently filed a tax levy for collection of the unpaid withholding taxes against Preuss’ bank account, along with another account. Preuss legally obtained a release of the levy on one account but then used that release form to fabricate a fraudulent release of levy for the other account.
Preuss then directed his wife to liquidate the released funds that same day in the form of cash and official bank checks. The employee withholding taxes remain unpaid.

How does that old saying go? If you can’t beat them, join them. This message is for all the people who think they can beat the IRS by cheating on their taxes, filing fraudulent tax returns or hiding their income. If I have to spell it out for you, I will. The bottom line is, you can’t beat the IRS. So you might as well join the masses of US citizens that diligently pay their taxes every year. And if you feel that you can’t pay what you owe, then you need to seek out professional tax help. For example, Tax Resolution Services has a team of tax attorneys and Certified Tax Resolution Specialists that are available to help you get tax relief. The IRS has payment plan options, a program that allows you to pay less than what you owe (Offer in Compromise) if you qualify, allows you to file delinquent tax returns, offers tax relief for innocent spouses and much more. Believe it or not, the IRS can be flexible, especially when you’ve got a tax expert guiding you through the hoops. The IRS is not flexible only when you cheat on your taxes! You can pretty much expect prison time and a hefty fine each time!
Robert L. Braddy Jr., 39, of College Park, Ga., was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for income tax evasion. He was also ordered to pay $306,906 in restitution.
Braddy was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service at the conclusion of the sentencing hearing.
According to court records, when Braddy filed his 2003, 2004 and 2005 federal income tax returns, he willfully attempted to evade a large part of the income tax he owed the United States by filing a false and fraudulent U.S. Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040).
For each of the returns he filed, he knew that his total income and the tax due and owing substantially exceeded the amounts he reported.
Braddy under reported his income by more than $1.1 million and underpaid his income taxes by $306,906
“This defendant hid $1 million in income and cheated his fellow citizens who pay their fair share of taxes. Now he is going to prison,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates in a statement.
Braddy is not eligible for parole.

Owing the IRS back taxes can be scary, but ignoring back taxes can be scarier. Many people (incorrectly) assume that if you owe the IRS back taxes, you will have to come up with the money all at once. Not true! There are tax relief options available for those of you that want to settle your back taxes. These tax relief options, however, are better left up to a tax expert to help you figure out what you qualify for, and how to approach the IRS. One option is an IRS payment plan, also known as an Installment Agreement, where you can pay the IRS back in reasonable monthly installments over time. Another option is the Offer in Compromise (OIC) program where you can get your back taxes and penalties reduced due to hardship (this is a program that you must qualify for). Every US citizen must pay taxes. When you ignore or evade taxes, and conceal your income to top it off, back taxes become just a small part of your problem. Prison time, fines and a criminal record become the rest of your problem!
Vincent Mavilia, 67, of Warren, Conn., was sentenced to 18 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for evading federal income taxes for more than a decade. Mavilia was also ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Mavilia has owned and operated a number of bars and adult-entertainment businesses.
However, from 1992 to 2003, Mavilia took steps to conceal from the Internal Revenue Service his ownership of the businesses as well as the income he received by placing them in the name of his adult daughter.
Mavilia further attempted to conceal his income from his businesses by using bank accounts in his daughter’s name to deposit funds and make payments of his personal expenses.
Mavilia also purchased and owned real property in Branford, Brookfield and Danbury, but placed the properties in the names of other individuals in order to keep them far from the reach of the IRS.
In addition to his sentence and fine, Mavilia was ordered to pay $359,291.15 in back taxes, penalties and interest.

I am assuming that most people who evade taxes do so because they want to keep the money all for themselves. Well, for all of those currently evading taxes, I say enjoy it while it lasts . . . because it won’t last long. Once the IRS catches up with you, and I am not saying “if” the IRS catches up with you (because they will!), you will not only have to pay the back taxes you owe, but you will get hit with penalties and interest and maybe even prison time. The gentleman in the article below now has a record and is ordered to pay back much more than half of the income he received for tax evasion.
David Thomas, 56, Killingworth, Conn., was sentenced to three years of probation for failing to pay taxes on more than $120,000 in income. According to court records, Thomas was retained by the Cedar Island Improvement Association to provide legal assistance. Thomas received $120,977.22 from the association that he then failed to report. Thomas must pay approximately $80,744 in back taxes, penalties and interest.

Leonard Kaiser — formerly mayor of North Arlington, N.J., executive director of the Bergen County Utilities Authority, and a commissioner of the N.J. Meadowlands Commission — was sentenced along with his wife for attempted tax evasion.
Leonard and Barbara Kaiser each received a year of probation.
Leonard Kaiser, 61, and Barbara Kaiser, 60, both pleaded guilty to an information charging them with attempting to evade income tax due on more than $28,000 in unreported income that they took from the campaign account of Leonard
Kaiser.
At their plea hearing, the Kaisers admitted that while they knew that New Jersey election laws prohibited the personal use of campaign funds, they nevertheless caused a number of checks to be issued from the election fund to Barbara Kaiser personally after Leonard Kaiser lost the 2002 election. Though many of the checks indicated on their face that they were for “salary,” the payments were not disclosed on campaign finance forms filed.
The Kaisers admitted that from 2002 to about 2004, they received just under $30,000 in income from the election fund that they deliberately did not report as income on their federal tax returns in order to avoid paying taxes.

John A. Gullett, of Parkland, Fla., was sentenced to 51 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, after being convicted on four counts of filing a false tax return. Gullett was also ordered to pay restitution of $255,000 to the IRS.
According to court records, Gullett submitted false Form 1040 Individual Income Tax Returns, statements and documents for tax years 2002 to 2005. He under reported his gross receipts from 2002 to 2005 and filed the tax returns with the IRS knowing that the returns contained materially false information.
Gullet contracted with the Broward County Police Benevolent Association (BCPBA) and the Dade County Police Benevolent Association (DCPBA) to solicit local businesses to buy advertisements in a book that Gullett published listing local businesses. The book was distributed to PBA members.
In exchange, Gullett paid BCPBA and DCPBA between $3,000 and $5,000 per month and kept any funds he raised in excess of these amounts. Gullett failed to report about $3 million of income from 2002 to 2005. Gullett used these monies to purchase a personal residence in Parkland, Fla., and various luxury automobiles, including two Ferraris and a Lamborghini.

IRS Payment Plans – also know as Installment Agreements – allow the taxpayer to pay tax liabilities over time. If you owe money to the IRS and feel that your tax debt is overwhelming, seeking professional tax services is a smart idea. Tax Resolution Services can help a taxpayer negotiate an IRS payment plan with low monthly payments that sets you on the path to financial freedom. Filing false tax returns to evade taxes, even with the blessings of your pastor, is only going to set you on the path to prison!
A religious leader in Vancouver, Wash., was sentenced to five months in prison for aiding the preparation of a false tax return.
Until last September, Maximo Garza, 47, was the pastor for Victory Outreach Church of Portland, a non-denominational church which has operated in Portland, Ore., for more than 15 years.
During his plea hearing, Garza admitted he provided false expense invoices which purported to reflect public relations and other services provided by Victory Outreach Church to William Thompson, who was then operating a mail-order divorce service using the name Hallwood Inc. Thompson used the false invoices to take expense deductions on tax returns filed by Hallwood in order to fraudulently reduce his tax liability.
Between 2001 and 2003, Garza provided invoices reflecting a total of $735,441 in false business expenses. Thompson agreed to let Garza keep approximately 10% of the expense amounts.
Thompson pled guilty to tax evasion and was sentenced to a prison term in 2007.

As stated on the Tax Resolution Services’ Payroll Tax Problems webpage, “Borrowing from payroll taxes is against the law and can land you in prison”. Well, embezzling from payroll taxes will land you in prison, like this office manager from Illinois who embezzled from the employee benefit plan and failed to pay employment taxes. She took a gamble that she wouldn’t get caught by the IRS and she lost!
An Illinois woman was sentenced to 30 months in prison as a result of her convictions for tax evasion, willful failure to file federal income tax returns, embezzlement from an employee benefit plan and failure to pay employment taxes.
In addition, Mary R. Storer, 40, formerly of Wood River, Ill., was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay restitution in the amount of $266,056 to the victim, Elk Heating and Cooling, and $76,267.29 to the IRS.
The convictions are the result of Storer’s conduct after she was hired by Elk Heating and Sheet Metal as their office manager in 2006. Elk Heating and Sheet Metal is a small, family-owned heating and air-conditioning company in Madison County.
Storer’s responsibilities included answering the telephones, setting up customer appointments and handling accounts receivable and accounts payable. Storer was also in charge of payroll and filing and paying Elk Heating and Sheet Metal’s payroll taxes. Storer immediately began embezzling money from Elk Heating and Sheet Metal and gambled away almost all of the money that she embezzled. At the sentencing, information was also presented that she had gambled heavily in 2007, with losses exceeding $200,000 for that year.
If you feel like your office manager is up to something then we strongly recommend having a tax professional, like a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist from Tax Resolution Services, take a look at your payroll tax problems. Payroll tax problems, such as delinquent payroll taxes or failing to file payroll taxes, will generate huge IRS penalties and debt and can be considered a federal crime. Tax Resolution Services’ expert tax representation can help you resolve your payroll tax problems or payroll tax penalties.

Robert Kahre, the owner of six construction businesses in Las Vegas who paid employees over $100 million in cash wages as part of an elaborate scheme to defraud the IRS, was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison.
“Citizens who pay their fair share of taxes can rest assured that the Department of Justice will continue to utilize all of its resources to prosecute those who choose to cheat and promote fraud,” said John A. DiCicco, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department Tax Division, in a statement.
Following an over three-hour sentencing hearing, visiting U.S. District Judge David A. Ezra, of the District of Hawaii, sentenced Robert Kahre to serve 190 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay over $16 million in restitution to the IRS. Judge Ezra also ordered that Kahre, who has been free on a personal recognizance bond since he was arrested in 2005, be immediately taken into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
“This kind of conduct is simply not acceptable in the United States,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden. “Individuals who ignore the federal tax laws by engaging in schemes to defraud in order to enrich themselves at the expense of others will be prosecuted.”
Taxpayers need to be aware of the fact that the IRS is seriously cracking down on tax evaders. There is no longer such a thing as a “fish too small” for the IRS to pay attention to. If you owe the IRS back taxes, you need to get professional tax help now to resolve your IRS debt before your penalties accumulate even more.

Maxim Maltsev of Russia, and who resided in San Diego from May 26, 2006, to Sept. 27, 2006, was sentenced to 18 months in federal custody and ordered to repay $136,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.
Maltsev was charged in a sealed indictment with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States regarding claims. He pleaded guilty in July 2009.
According to his guilty plea, Maltsev admitted that he was part of a conspiracy to obtain federal income tax returns requesting refunds before they were electronically filed with the IRS.
The conspirators then changed the bank account information on the returns to divert the refund payments from the taxpayers to accounts opened for that purpose by members of the conspiracy. To that end, Maltsev opened bank accounts at four banks in San Diego. Approximately 65 federal income tax refund payments, totaling around $105,000, were illegally diverted to the accounts opened by Maltsev.
Maltsev also convinced three friends to participate in the scheme, running the total loss to the IRS to $136,000. Those funds were withdrawn by debit, check cards and ATM withdrawals.
