A Loomis man was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his role in a tax return fraud scheme that submitted false tax returns and claimed credits for others.
Slavic Khudoy, 37, of Loomis, California, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on April 13, 2016, for his involvement in a fraudulent tax refund scheme.
According to court documents, between 2010 and 2012, Khudoy and Clint D. Bonderer, 38, of Stockton, submitted income tax returns to the IRS for others that contained false information about the taxpayers’ income, filing status, and address, and fraudulently claimed credits that the taxpayers were not entitled to receive.
Bonderer and Khudoy submitted 842 fraudulent tax returns, requesting more than $600,000 in refunds in the names of other people. In most cases, they kept the refunds for themselves.
Khudoy pleaded guilty on April 13, 2016. Bonderer was sentenced to three years in prison on March 10, 2016, for conspiring to submit false claims.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew G. Morris prosecuted the case.
A total of 842 fraudulent tax returns were submitted, requesting more than $600,000 in refunds. Khudoy and Bonderer kept the refunds for themselves in most cases.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of filing accurate and truthful tax returns.
