Dallas – A Garland couple has been charged with tax fraud in a federal indictment returned last week.
Tammy Boulyaphonh, aka ‘Tammy Doan’ and ‘Tuyet Thi Doan’, 49, and Khamlor Boulyaphonh, 48, were arrested on federal charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and four counts of false statements on income tax returns, announced U.S. Attorney John Parker for the Northern District of Texas.
According to the indictment, the defendants owned and operated a chiropractic business known as K-Spinal, which operated under various corporate names, including Garland Rehab Center, LLC, Chiro Care LLC, and K Spinal Rehab Center LLC.
The majority of K-Spinal’s income came from payments received from insurance companies and payments received from attorneys who had received insurance claim settlement payments on behalf of K-Spinal’s patients.
The indictment alleges that for tax years 2010 through 2013, the defendants did not provide all of the 1099s they received from insurance companies and did not provide records concerning payments received from attorneys in connection with their patients’ insurance claims settlements to their tax preparer.
Tammy Boulyaphonh diverted significant amounts of payments made by attorneys to her personal bank account and failed to report them as income of K-Spinal.
A federal indictment is an accusation by a federal grand jury, and a defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.
The conspiracy count, upon conviction, carries a maximum statutory penalty of five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Each of the false statement counts carry a maximum statutory penalty of three years in federal prison and a $100,000 fine. Restitution may also be ordered.
