A married couple in Portland, Ore., was convicted of nine counts of criminal tax violations spanning 10 years for their sale and promotion of abusive tax shelters.
Micaela Renee Dutson, 48, and Tony Dutson, 53, were convicted of conspiring to defraud the IRS, obstructing the IRS, causing clients to use bogus financial instruments in an attempt to pay their taxes, failing to file tax returns, and aiding and advising a client to file a false tax return. In all, according to the government, the Dutsons helped to defraud the IRS of approximately $7 million.
Micaela Dutson was a lawyer, and the couple used her law office in Tigard, Ore., to promote and sell abusive tax trusts for several years before moving to Arizona in 2003. The couple made more than $1 million dollars from the scheme and paid no income tax. The Dutsons also filed approximately 30 bogus tax returns, attempting to claim fraudulent refunds from the IRS totaling more than $185 million.
