A federal grand jury has unsealed an indictment charging Sarah Vidican, owner of Michigan marketing company Magnalty LLC, with tax crimes including filing a false tax return and failing to file tax returns.
According to the indictment, Vidican, who also operated a marketing and consulting company in Florida, allegedly underreported income on a 2012 partnership tax return for Magnalty, which provided marketing and consulting services to physicians and chiropractors.
The indictment further alleges that Vidican failed to file a personal tax return for 2013 and failed to file a 2014 partnership tax return for Magnalty, despite having an obligation to do so.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Tax Division announced the charges, commending special agents of IRS Criminal Investigation for their work on the case.
“If convicted, Vidican faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison for filing a false tax return and one year in prison for each failure to file count,” Goldberg said. “Vidican also faces a period of supervised release, restitution and monetary penalties.”
An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Tax Division Trial Attorneys Mark McDonald and William Guappone are prosecuting the case. Additional information about the Tax Division and its enforcement efforts may be found on the division’s website.
