A Nevada, Missouri, business owner has been accused of cheating his law-abiding neighbors by failing to pay taxes on nearly $1.5 million of income.
Kevin R. Morrow, 53, pleaded guilty in federal court today to filing a false tax return, violating federal statutes that prescribe a sentence of up to three years in federal prison without parole.
The crime took place from 2014 through 2016, when Morrow operated Morrow Show Steers, a cattle sale business, but did not report any of this income and, therefore, did not pay any taxes on this income.
Under the terms of his plea agreement, Morrow must pay a total of $104,838 in restitution to the federal government and the state of Missouri.
According to today’s plea agreement, Morrow’s false tax returns led to federal tax due and owing in the amount of $92,928. The total tax loss to the Missouri Department of Revenue is $11,910.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Casey Clark and Shannon Kempf. It was investigated by IRS-Criminal Investigation and the Missouri Department of Revenue – Compliance and Investigation Bureau.
The court will schedule a sentencing hearing after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
