Kali Irons, the 39-year-old Luling woman who pleaded guilty to filing a false tax return in May, was sentenced last Thursday to three years probation, including six months of home confinement.
According to U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite, Irons, a self-employed tax preparer, under-reported her taxable income for 2009 and 2010 to the IRS, resulting in a tax loss of $88,203 to the United States.
In addition to probation and home confinement, she was ordered to pay a $100 mandatory special assessment and full restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.
“Special Agents of IRS Criminal Investigation will continue to aggressively work with the United States Attorney’s Office to protect taxpayers’ interests and thoroughly investigate allegations of tax fraud,” said Jerome McDuffie, special agent in charge of IRS’ Criminal Investigation. “Today’s sentence of Ms. Irons is a reminder that those who file false tax returns will be investigated and prosecuted.”
Irons faced a potential maximum sentence of three years in prison, up to $100,000 in fines and one year of supervised release.
