SCRANTON – Charles R. Ehrenberg, the owner of Ehrenberg Roofing and Construction, Inc., has been sentenced to six months in prison for failing to collect and pay over several years worth of required federal payroll taxes.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Ehrenberg was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion to 6 months’ imprisonment to be followed by 6 months’ home confinement with electronic monitoring and a 2-year term of supervised release.
The crime occurred over a four-year period from 2017 to 2020, during which Ehrenberg willfully failed to collect and pay over to the IRS required federal payroll taxes in the total amount of $185,681.90.

At sentencing, Ehrenberg was also ordered to make restitution to the IRS in the amount of $185,681.90.
The case was investigated by IRS-Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffery St John prosecuted the case.
The charges against Ehrenberg include failing to collect and pay over required federal payroll taxes.
Charles R. Ehrenberg is a 34-year-old resident of the Hazleton area.
