A Palm Beach County man has been accused of engaging in a tax scam, according to a recent indictment.
Kasali Opabola, Jr., a tax return preparer, was charged with two counts of filing a false individual tax return for tax years 2014 and 2015, and one count of failing to file an individual tax return for tax year 2016.
According to the indictment, Opabola managed a tax return preparation organization known as FTP Tax Solutions, LLC. The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges that Opabola underreported his business’s income and gross receipts, knowing that the actual amounts were significantly higher.
If convicted of all counts, Opabola faces up to three years of imprisonment for Counts 1 and 2, and up to one year of imprisonment for Count 3.
The case is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) Miami Field Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robin Waugh.
Opabola is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The indictment is merely an accusation.
An indictment is only an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Kasali Opabola, Jr. appeared in court on April 15, 2021, to face the indictment.
