A South Carolina man was sentenced today to two years in prison for filing a false federal income tax return.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Timothy Blackman, of Daniel Island, was a self-employed contractor in Auburn, New York, providing construction and remodeling services. From 2007 through 2010, Blackman did not file income tax returns with the IRS or pay income taxes. After learning of a criminal investigation concerning his income taxes in June 2010, Blackman late-filed a false 2007 personal tax return, which underreported his construction and remodeling business’s total gross receipts and income.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, U.S. District Court Judge David Hurd for the Northern District of New York ordered Blackman to serve one year of supervised release.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman for the Northern District of New York made the announcement.
IRS Criminal Investigation investigated the case.
Acting Section Chief John N. Kane of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael F. Perry for the Northern District of New York prosecuted the case.
