A Denver man has been indicted for allegedly evading taxes and failing to file tax returns, leaving the U.S. government with a staggering bill of over $225,000.
Solomon Paul Garcia, 45, was hit with a federal grand jury indictment for one count of tax evasion and four counts of failure to file a tax return.
According to the indictment, Garcia allegedly inflated the number of exemptions on his Internal Revenue Service Form W-4s with his various employers, causing his employers to withhold very little federal employee income tax from his wages.
After allegedly inflating his exemptions, Garcia then allegedly failed to file federal income tax returns reporting his earned income and federal income taxes due and owing for the years under investigation.
Based on information contained in the indictment, Garcia is alleged to have a tax liability to the U.S. government of more than $225,000 over the five-year period.
If convicted, the charge of tax evasion carries a sentence of no more than five years imprisonment and a fine of no more than $250,000.
The case is being investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley Giles.
