Miami Attorney Charged with Tax Evasion
Steven E. Siff, a Davie-based attorney, has been charged with three counts of failing to file an income tax return, in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7203.
According to the information, since at least 1982, Siff worked as an attorney in the Miami office of an international law firm, first as an associate, then as a partner. Siff failed to file personal United States income tax returns since at least tax year 1997.
Between 2001 and 2011, Siff earned approximately $8,248,401 in partnership profits. For tax years 2009 through 2011, Siff failed to make an income tax return reporting gross partnership income of $716,464, $705,967, and $694,449, respectively.
U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of IRS-CI. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bertha R. Mitrani.
An information is only an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case is a stark reminder of the importance of tax compliance. ‘Failing to file a tax return is a serious offense that can have severe consequences,’ said U.S. Attorney Ferrer. ‘We will continue to work with our partners to ensure that those who evade taxes are held accountable.’
The case is being prosecuted in the Southern District of Florida. A copy of this press release may be found on the website of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida at http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/fls.
