Roofing Contractor Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion
ANGELO DELMARO, a 48-year-old Farmington man, pleaded guilty to tax evasion in Hartford, Connecticut. Delmaro, the owner and operator of commercial roofing businesses in Connecticut, has been accused of concealing income and operating expenses from the IRS.
According to court documents, Delmaro’s companies earned approximately $12.7 million in customer receipts from 2012 to 2022. However, Delmaro paid his workers in cash, never filed income or payroll tax returns for himself or the business, and took several steps to conceal income and operating expenses from the IRS.
The investigation revealed that Delmaro and others associated with his business cashed checks from customers at various check cashing businesses instead of depositing them into bank accounts. Delmaro provided the check cashers with addresses associated with UPS mailboxes rather than his home address.
Additionally, Delmaro had customers file false Forms 1099 made out to a family member, rather than his business, or made out to Delmaro himself. At times, when a customer requested that Delmaro provide a completed Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, Form W-9, Delmaro worked with his father to prepare a false W-9 that included the name and social security number of his father and a UPS mailbox address.
Delmaro has agreed to pay restitution of $630,869 to the IRS. Judge Nagala scheduled sentencing for January 21, and Delmaro is currently released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing.
This investigation has been conducted by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division and the Social Security Administration, Office of the Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher W. Schmeisser.
Delmaro’s tax evasion scheme has now been brought to justice, and he will face the consequences of his actions in the upcoming sentencing hearing.
