Boca Raton CPA charged with preparing false tax returns

By Palm Beach Business.com

BOCA RATON — A federal grand jury has indicted a Boca Raton CPA on charges preparing false tax returns and obstructing Internal Revenue laws.

Certified public accountant John P. Miller of Boca Raton, allegedly helped his clients create so-called S corporations and corporate bank accounts as part of a scheme to dodge taxes. His clients would deposit personal income into the corporate accounts, then used those accounts to pay personal expenses.

Miller, in turn, prepared false individual and corporate tax returns for his clients, falsely claiming personal expenses as business expenses. Miller also allegedly made false and misleading statements to special agents from the IRS who were conducting a criminal investigation of his clients.

The indictment returned by the grand jury charges Miller with one count of obstructing the Internal Revenue Service and one count of aiding and assisting in the preparation of false tax returns. If convicted, Miller faces a maximum of three years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine for each count.
