Ndeye Amy Thioub, Filing False Tax Returns, Massachusetts 2024

BOSTON, MA - A shocking turn of events has rocked the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a Revenue Agent has been arrested and charged with filing false personal tax returns for three years.

Ndeye Amy Thioub, 67, of Swampscott, was charged with filing false tax returns. Thioub will appear in federal court in Boston at 2 p.m. today.

According to the charging documents, Thioub has been employed by the IRS for over 17 years. In her current position as a Revenue Agent assigned to the Large Business and International Division of the IRS, Thioub conducts independent field examinations and related investigations of complex income tax returns filed by large businesses, corporations and organizations.

It is alleged that Thioub filed false personal tax returns for tax years 2017, 2018 and 2019. It is further alleged that, for each year, Thioub filed a false Schedule C claiming a business loss from a purported “import and export” business she claimed to have. As a result, the claimed net loss was carried over to her personal IRS Form 1040s and used to reduce Thioub’s adjusted gross income and ultimate tax liability.

The alleged underreporting of income resulted in Thioub underpaying her taxes by approximately $42,805 in 2017, $20,324 in 2018, and $27,063 in 2019.

The charge of filing a false tax return provides for a sentence of up to three years in prison, followed by one year of supervised release and a $100,000 fine. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristina E. Barclay of the Public Corruption & Special Prosecutions Unit.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
