St. Louis A jury found Ramsey Windsor of St. Charles, Missouri guilty on two counts of assisting in the preparation of false tax returns following a four-day jury trial. United States District Judge Audrey G. Fleissig presided over the trial.
The evidence during the trial proved Windsor was the owner of a St. Louis County company that produced mass mailers for its customers. During the years 2013 and 2014, large sums of money, which were business receipts, were deposited into Windsor s personal bank account. These funds were payments from only one client. All other business receipts from other company customers were deposited in Windsor s business account. A majority of the sales which were deposited into Windsor s personal account were not reported on his tax returns. This methodology caused the gross receipts to be underreported on Windsor s tax documentation in years 2013 and 2014. Thus, Windsor assisted in the preparation of personal tax returns that were fraudulent.

During those three tax years, Doug Stecher hid $718,995 of income from the IRS and paid $240,053 less in income tax than he should have paid. S
