Sandra Vonderembse Charged with Tax Evasion in Ohio
A Defiance woman has been charged with failing to report nearly $800,000 in income to the Internal Revenue Service, according to Carole S. Rendon, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
Sandra Vonderembse, 65, of Defiance, allegedly did not report taxable income between the tax years of 2009 through 2011. During that time, her income was approximately $793,204, meaning she would owe the IRS approximately $136,351 in taxes, according to the criminal information.
Specifically, Vonderembse is charged with tax evasion, as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code. If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after reviewing factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, and the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation.
According to the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation, Toledo, the defendant’s actions resulted in a significant loss of revenue for the government. The case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Noah P. Hood and Department of Justice Trial Attorneys Jack Morgan and Jeffrey McLellan.
The charges against Vonderembse are only accusations, and she is entitled to a fair trial. An information is not evidence of guilt, and it is the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Vonderembse’s case highlights the importance of reporting income accurately and honestly to the IRS. Tax evasion is punishable by up to five years in prison, and the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum.
