Authorities: Ohio man pleads guilty in tax scam

0

CINCINNATI (AP) — Federal authorities say a Cincinnati man
has pleaded guilty to single counts of conspiracy to submit false claims
for federal income tax refunds with the Internal Revenue Service and
theft of government property.
The U.S. attorney for Ohio’s
southern district says 35-year-old Jimmy Hill could be sentenced to up
to 10 years and fined $250,000 or twice Hill’s gain or the loss to
victims.
Hill’s plea was announced Tuesday. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call.
Court
documents say that between January 2011 and September 2012 Hill and
five others participated in a scheme to obtain false claims for income
tax refunds from the IRS by electronically filing false 2010 and 2011
returns.
Authorities say the returns claimed more than $654,500 in refunds they knew they weren’t entitled to.
