Duckworth Falsified Taxes, Faces 3-Year Prison Term
A Metairie man has been charged with making false statements on income tax returns, resulting in a substantial tax debt. According to the Bill of Information, 44-year-old Timothy Duckworth under-reported his income by approximately $610,495 for the year 2007, resulting in $213,579 in unpaid taxes.
The charge against Duckworth carries a maximum term of three years imprisonment, one year of supervised release, and a $100,000 fine if convicted. The Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations is being praised by U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite for their work in uncovering the tax evasion scheme.
U.S. Attorney Polite emphasized that the Bill of Information is merely a charge, and the guilt of Duckworth must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Assistant United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg is leading the prosecution of the case.
Duckworth’s alleged tax fraud is a serious offense that undermines the integrity of the tax system. If convicted, he will face the consequences of his actions and be held accountable for his actions.
The case against Duckworth serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and transparency in financial dealings. It is crucial for individuals to report their income accurately and pay their taxes on time to avoid severe penalties.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work closely with the Internal Revenue Service to bring tax evaders to justice and protect the integrity of the tax system.
