Michigan Marketing Company Owner Charged with Tax Crimes
A federal grand jury in Flint, Michigan, has returned an indictment charging Sarah Vidican with filing a false tax return and failing to file tax returns, announced Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department’s Tax Division.
According to the indictment, Vidican owned and operated a marketing and consulting company in Michigan and Florida under the name Magnalty LLC (Magnalty). The company allegedly provided marketing and consulting services to physicians and chiropractors.
The indictment charges that Vidican filed a false 2012 partnership tax return for Magnalty that underreported the business’s income. Additionally, the indictment 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.
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. Vidican also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, and monetary penalties.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg commended special agents of IRS Criminal Investigation, who conducted the investigation, and Tax Division Trial Attorneys Mark McDonald and William Guappone, who are prosecuting the case.
An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed. Vidican is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
