Tax Preparer Sentenced for Filing False Returns

Fraudulent Tax Returns Land Lekeith Robinson Behind Bars

A devastating tax scam in New Orleans has been brought to justice. Lekeith Robinson, a 31-year-old tax preparer from New Orleans, Louisiana, has been sentenced to 21 months incarceration for filing false claims against the United States.

According to court documents, Robinson owned and operated a tax preparation business called Solid Rock II, Inc. Between February 2009 and May 2010, he prepared fraudulent tax returns in the names of others, seeking tax refunds totaling approximately $93,804.43.

The tax returns were false, containing information about dependents and household income that was completely fabricated. The scheme was extensive and far-reaching, with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigating the case.

U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan handed down the sentence, which also includes two years of supervised release and restitution of $93,804.13 to the IRS. Assistant U.S. Attorney G. Dall Kammer prosecuted the case.

The people of New Orleans can rest a little easier knowing that a deceitful tax preparer has been held accountable for his crimes. The IRS and local law enforcement agencies must be commended for their tireless efforts in bringing this case to justice.
