Hanna Jera Davidson, a 41-year-old woman from Atoka, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to a serious federal tax charge.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, Davidson willfully failed to collect, truthfully account for, and pay over trust fund taxes of $13,273.57 due and owing to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the employees of Fomby & Sons Towing and Recovery for the second quarter of the year ending in 2020.
In addition to the initial tax charge, Davidson also admitted to willfully choosing not to pay over to the IRS $158,527.00 in taxes collected from employees between March 2015 and December 2020. Furthermore, she willfully chose not to pay over to the IRS $72,665.82, which represented Fomby & Sons Towing and Recovery’s portion of the employment taxes owed.
The charge against Davidson arose from an investigation by IRS-Criminal Investigations. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kara Traster.
Davidson was released on bond pending sentencing. A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the sentence to be imposed after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The Honorable Gerald L. Jackson, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.
Davidson’s guilty plea is a significant blow to those who would seek to cheat the system and avoid paying their fair share of taxes. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma will continue to vigorously pursue those who engage in tax-related crimes.
