Wanda Davis pleaded guilty in the Middle
District of Alabama today to one count of filing a false tax return, the
Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced.
According to court documents, from 2007 to
2011, Davis prepared false tax returns for clients while working at Davis Fast
Tax and Davis Tax Service in Montgomery, Ala. Davis included false and inflated
deductions as well as fictitious businesses on her clients’ tax returns
resulting in inflated refunds to which the client was not entitled. By her
actions, Davis sought over $200,000 in false tax refunds.
Sentencing has not yet been scheduled. Davis
faces a maximum potential sentence of three years in prison, up to three years
of supervised release, mandatory restitution and a fine of up to $250,000 or
twice the loss caused by her offenses.
This case was investigated by special agents
of IRS – Criminal Investigation. Trial Attorneys Michael Boteler and Jason
Poole of the Justice Department’s Tax Division are prosecuting the case with
the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Alabama.
