He Tried to Thwart IRS Collection Efforts
On October 2nd 2019 another medical doctor was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for evading the payment of his income taxes, announced Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and United States Attorney R. Andrew Murray. According to documents and information provided to the court, from May 2012 to December 2015, the good doctor took several actions to evade payment of federal income taxes, interest, and penalties he accrued over six previous tax years. The sawbones ignored a duly-issued Internal Revenue Service (IRS) summons to appear before an IRS collections officer with his pertinent financial records. After the IRS sought and received a court order compelling him to comply with the summons, he provided minimal information and omitted records related to any financial accounts and assets he may have had. The doctor also hid his assets from the IRS by depositing his paychecks on a reloadable debit card and having wages issued in the name of a company he controlled rather than directly to himself.

In addition to the term of imprisonment, U.S. District Judge Conrad ordered the despondent doctor to serve one year of supervised release and to pay a $10,000 fine. Restitution will be ordered at a later date.
