A recent story on CBS reports that a Minnesota nightclub bouncer will spend almost six years in prison for tax fraud. As we’ve previously mentioned, being charged with tax fraud can turn into a long-term headache if it’s not handled correctly.
An Experienced Tax Fraud Attorney Can Help.
According to the CBS article, after a four-day trial, in federal court, “it was proven in court that in 2009 Hunter fraudulently claimed more than $200,000 in tax refunds that he wasn’t entitled to.” They also state that the man in question “also filed dozens of fraudulent tax returns on behalf of friends and acquaintances, including minors” and that “those tax returns also exaggerated or falsified the level of income.”
