Tax Evasion Rocks Onondaga County: David Gedamoske Pleads Guilty to Evading Over $200,000 in Federal Taxes

Syracuse, New York – In a shocking turn of events, 41-year-old David Gedamoske of Lafayette, New York, has pleaded guilty to tax evasion, evading over $200,000 in federal taxes between 2016 and 2021. This brazen crime has left many in the community reeling and questioning the integrity of our tax system.

According to court documents, Gedamoske, who worked as a journeyman lineman for various electrical companies, received wages reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on the Form W-2. However, when he started working at these companies, Gedamoske completed a Form W-4 and claimed either “99 Allowances” or that he was “Exempt” from income tax, in an attempt to have his employer withhold little or no federal income tax on his paycheck.

As a result of his actions, Gedamoske failed to file a federal tax return between 2016-2021, evading over $200,000 in federal taxes. This egregious offense has caught the attention of the US Attorney's Office and the IRS-CI, who have been working tirelessly to bring Gedamoske to justice.

US Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Harry Chavis, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the IRS-CI, New York Field Division, made the announcement, stating that Gedamoske's actions were a blatant disregard for the law and a threat to the integrity of our tax system.

Gedamoske's sentencing is scheduled for June 11, 2025, before Senior United States District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby. He faces up to 5 years in federal prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, and a maximum $100,000 fine. Gedamoske will also be required to pay restitution to the IRS.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of complying with tax laws and the severe consequences that come with tax evasion. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Gedamoske's exact criminal charges are tax evasion, a federal offense that carries severe penalties. This case is being investigated by the IRS-CI and is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Paul Tuck.
