A Louisiana tax return preparer was sentenced to 24 months in prison today for conspiring to defraud the United States.
According to court documents, Michegel Butler of St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana, owned Crown Tax Service LLC, a tax preparation business located in Kenner, Louisiana. From approximately January 2013 through April 2013, Butler and others conspired to defraud the United States by preparing returns that fraudulently inflated clients tax refunds. Some of the returns included false Schedule C business income and expenses, dependents, and dependent care expenses. To substantiate the false income and expenses, Butler and others directed clients to create bogus receipts. In total, Butler caused over $100,000 in tax losses.
