According to USDOJ, the court documents showed that between March 2019 and April 2022, Davis and Wright caused at least nine fraudulent income-tax returns to be filed with the IRS, claiming more than $2 million of income tax refunds.
The returns had been filed in both Davis, Wright, and family members and listed wages that taxpayers did not receive, officials said. Many of the returns listed the taxpayers’ employer as one of the various LLCs created by Davis, Wright, and their family members.
Many of the returns, the USDOJ said that had falsely claimed charitable contributions that were not made. Davis had prepared and filed the false tax returns. Wright provided him with information and contacted the Internal Revenue Service to check on the status of the refunds that were claimed in the false tax returns.
The USDOJ said both of them have been ordered to pay restitution for the fraudulent income tax refunds that they had received.
