Description: Brooklyn, NY - The United States of America charged Emerson Gamory with preparing false tax returns.
A Brooklyn, New York, tax return preparer was sentenced to 15 months in prison today for preparing false returns for his clients and himself.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Emerson Gamory owned and operated Emerson Gamory Income Tax Services Inc. (Gamory Tax), a tax preparation business in Brooklyn. From 2013 through 2017, Gamory falsified client returns by fraudulent claiming deductions for gifts to charity, unreimbursed employee expenses, and education expenses in order to inflate his clients’ refunds. Gamory also prepared false returns for Gamory Tax that underreported its gross receipts and returns for himself that underreported net profits. In total, Gamory caused a tax loss of more than $550,000 to the United States.
On June 25, 2019, Gamory pleaded guilty to aiding and assisting in the preparation of false tax returns and filing a false return for himself.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, U.S. District Judge Carol Bagley Amon ordered Gamory to serve one year of supervised release and to pay $574,565 in restitution to the United States.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Zuckerman and U.S. Attorney Donoghue commended special agents of IRS-CI, who investigated the case.
