A Florida man was sentenced to 78 months in prison for tax evasion in New Jersey.
Jason Kronick, 51, of Boca Raton, Florida, formerly of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, was convicted on June 26, 2024, by a federal jury of four counts of tax evasion following a trial before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton.
According to documents filed in this case and the evidence at trial, Kronick evaded payment of more than $8.6 million in income and employment taxes, including penalties and interest, despite having earned more than $20 million in taxable income.
Kronick also collected approximately $200,000 in payroll taxes from employees of his company, but failed to remit those withholdings to the IRS and evaded his obligation to do so.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Wigenton sentenced Kronick to three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $10.27 million in restitution.
U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger credited special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jenifer L. Piovesan, with the investigation leading to the conviction.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rachelle M. Navarro and Christopher Fell of the Criminal Division in Newark.
