A ruthless tax cheat has been brought to justice in Philadelphia. Ronald Allen, 61, of Lansdale, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, which he was ordered by U.S. District Court Judge Paul S. Diamond to start serving immediately, and further ordered to pay a $120,000 fine.
The evidence showed that for the years 2008 through 2012, the gross receipts that the defendant reported in his corporate income tax returns were understated by the following amounts: $150,000, $150,000, $256,248, $351,416, and $307,666. During those same years, the defendant understated the net profits that he reported in his individual returns by precisely the same amounts.
Between the years 2008 and 2012, the defendant saved approximately $248,328 in unpaid taxes and collected approximately $36,863 in undeserved tax refunds.
The case was investigated by the IRS-Criminal Investigations, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin Brenner.
According to the charges, the defendant pleaded guilty to subscribing a false income tax return.
The harsh sentence handed down to Allen serves as a warning to those who would try to cheat the system. Taxpayers have a responsibility to report their income accurately and pay their fair share of taxes.
The exact date of the sentencing was not specified in the release, but the case is a reminder that tax fraud will not be tolerated in Pennsylvania.
