Amjad Ibrahim, Tax Evasion, Georgia 2026

ATLANTA - Amjad Ibrahim, a licensed attorney, will serve more than a year in federal prison following his conviction for evading nearly $1.5 million in federal income taxes over a four-year span.

According to U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg, Ibrahim willfully evaded paying federal income taxes for tax years 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, resulting in nearly $1.5 million in unpaid personal taxes. During those years, Ibrahim managed and earned substantial income from at least seven businesses.

He sought to hide his earnings from these companies by issuing at least 70 checks to himself, totaling approximately $700,000.

On June 12, 2026, Chief U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May sentenced Amjad Ibrahim, 60, of Johns Creek, Georgia, to one year and three months in prison to be followed by two years of supervised release.

Additionally, the Court ordered Ibrahim to pay $1,934,115 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and a fine of $35,000.

Ibrahim was convicted of three counts of tax evasion on December 16, 2024, after he pleaded guilty. As part of his plea agreement, Ibrahim was required to file back tax returns covering tax years 2016 through 2023.

This case sends an unmistakable message that if you try to hide income and cheat the tax system, IRS Criminal Investigation will find you, said Special Agent in Charge Demetrius Hardeman, IRS Criminal Investigation, Atlanta Field Office.
