Kathy Lynch, Tax Evasion, Indiana 2015

A notorious tax evader has been brought to justice in Northwest Indiana. Kathy Lynch, age 64, of Kouts, Indiana, has been found guilty of nine counts of willful failure to pay over to the IRS, federal payroll taxes withheld from Kouts Health Care, Inc employees, between June 2013 and September 2015.

The jury delivered the verdict following a 3-day trial presided over by United States District Court Judge Philip P Simon. United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson announced the guilty verdict, stating that the case was a significant victory for the IRS and the community.

Lynch's crimes date back to 2013, when she was responsible for withholding federal payroll taxes from employees at Kouts Health Care, Inc. However, instead of paying the taxes, Lynch willfully failed to do so, resulting in a significant financial burden on the IRS.

The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, who worked tirelessly to gather evidence and build a strong case against Lynch. The prosecution was led by Assistant United States Attorneys Abizer Zanzi and Kevin Wolff, who presented a thorough and compelling case to the jury.

The exact date of the crimes was between June 2013 and September 2015. The sentence for Lynch will be determined by the District Court Judge after consideration of federal statutes and the United States Sentencing Guidelines.

Kouts Health Care, Inc employees were affected by Lynch's actions, as the withheld taxes were not paid to the IRS. The total amount of taxes owed is not specified in the article, but the consequences of Lynch's actions are severe.

Lynch will be scheduled for sentencing by separate order of the Court. The outcome of the sentencing will depend on the District Court Judge's decision, taking into account federal statutes and the United States Sentencing Guidelines.

The guilty verdict is a significant blow to Lynch and serves as a reminder of the importance of tax compliance. The IRS and law enforcement agencies will continue to work together to root out tax evaders and bring them to justice.
