Ronald Allen, Tax Fraud, Pennsylvania 2023

PHILADELPHIA – In a shocking turn of events, Ronald Allen, a 61-year-old resident of Lansdale, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment for his role in a massive tax fraud scheme.

According to court documents, Allen pleaded guilty to subscribing a false income tax return, a charge that carries severe penalties. The evidence presented in court revealed that Allen had been understating his corporate income tax returns by significant amounts between 2008 and 2012.

During this period, Allen’s company received a total of $1,014,630 in gross receipts, but he only reported $864,330. This discrepancy added up to a staggering $150,000 in 2008, $150,000 in 2009, $256,248 in 2010, $351,416 in 2011, and $307,666 in 2012.

But that wasn’t all – Allen also understated his net profits in his individual returns by the same amounts, resulting in a total of $248,328 in unpaid taxes and $36,863 in undeserved tax refunds. The IRS-Criminal Investigations launched a probe into Allen’s activities, and Assistant United States Attorney Kevin Brenner is handling the prosecution.

In a scathing verdict, U.S. District Court Judge Paul S. Diamond sentenced Allen to 18 months imprisonment, ordering him to start serving his sentence immediately. Allen was also hit with a $120,000 fine, bringing the total penalty to a whopping $120,000.

This case sends a clear message to those who think they can cheat the system – you will be caught, and you will face the consequences. The IRS-Criminal Investigations will continue to work tirelessly to root out tax fraud and bring perpetrators to justice.
