A brazen tax cheat in St. Clair County, Illinois, has landed behind bars after pleading guilty to filing hundreds of false tax returns. Dormeshia Haire, 38, owned several tax preparation businesses, including Dormeshia Taxes and One Tax Guru Financial Services.
According to court documents, Haire falsified her own income and her clients’ business expenses, resulting in an outstanding tax obligation of over $600,000 to the Internal Revenue Service and an additional $48,000 to the State of Illinois.
The scheme unraveled when a federal grand jury returned a nine-count superseding indictment against Haire in March 2026. She was initially charged in April 2024.
Haire’s bond was revoked on April 6, and she was taken into custody after the district court found clear and convincing evidence that she violated her bond conditions.
Dormeshia Haire’s sentencing is scheduled for August 5, 2026, at the federal courthouse in Benton, Illinois.
