Catholic Priest Discovers That Tax Evasion is Not Just Between Him and God
In the featured article below, a priest learns that God wasn’t the only one watching him cheat on his taxes – the IRS was too! Tax evasion, under reporting income, or hiding income is all the same. It is a federal offense and is usually punishable by a hefty fine and prison time. I have said it on this tax blog time and again – if you are cheating on taxes, you will get caught. The more money you hide, the bigger your punishment will be. So if you owe back taxes, there is no time like the present to ask for tax help from Tax Resolution Services. Let me reiterate, we do not help you evade taxes, we settle your tax debt and help you find permanent tax relief so you can go forth with a clear conscience!Â
A Roman Catholic priest, Samuel R. Ciccolini, 66, of Akron, Ohio, was charged with one count of structuring financial transactions to evade reporting requirements and one count of making and subscribing to a false tax return.
The information alleges that from April 2003 to June 2003, Ciccolini, knowingly and for the purpose of evading the reporting requirements for financial transactions, made a structured deposit of $1,038,680 in U.S. currency by 139 individual cash deposits at bank branches in the Akron area.
The information further alleges that on April 15, 2004, Ciccolini willfully made and subscribed an individual tax return and verified in writing that his personal taxable income for the tax year 2003 was $101,064, whereas he then knew his actual income was $407,062.00. The information charges that the unreported taxes for the 2003 tax year was $129,432.00.
In addition to being a Roman Catholic priest, Ciccolini is executive director of Interval Brotherhood Home, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.
The investigation leading to the information was conducted by the IRS and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
