She Evaded Over $490,000 in Income Tax
The former employee
of a law firm pleaded guilty to tax evasion, announced Principal Deputy
Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax
Division and Interim U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans for the Eastern
District.
According to court
documents, Marcia Jordan, 46, evaded paying taxes on over $490,000 in
income earned from her work at the law firm. As part of her plea, Jordan
admitted to failing to file timely her income tax return for 2011 and to
submitting to the IRS a false application for automatic extension of time to
file her return on which she falsely estimated her total tax liability to be $0
and falsely claimed that she had already made $10,000 in tax payments.
As part of her plea
agreement, she has agreed to pay a total of $313,899 in restitution to the IRS
for her unpaid taxes for 2009 through 2014.
U.S. District Court
Judge Ivan Lemelle scheduled sentencing for June 6. Jordan faces a
statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison. She also faces
monetary penalties, supervised release, and restitution.
Principal Deputy
Assistant Attorney General Zuckerman and Interim U.S. Attorney Evans commended
special agents of IRS Criminal Investigation, special agents of the U.S. Secret
Service, and the Slidell Police Department, who investigated the case, and
Trial Attorney Grace Albinson of the Tax Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney
Jon Maestri, who prosecuted the case.
