CLEVELAND , Ohio - A Cleveland woman has been arrested for her role in preparing and filing false federal income tax return s on behalf of her clients. According to the Department of Justice , 46-year-old Sherita Booker was charged by criminal complaint on April 9 for aiding or assisting in the preparation of false and fraudulent income tax return s. Booker learned to prepare returns while working at a national tax return preparation company from about June 2016 to April 2017, according to court documents.
Afterward, the DOJ said she started her own tax return preparation company under different entity names, as well as her own name. During the investigation, agents discovered that when Booker prepared tax returns for clients, she would allegedly attach fraudulent Schedule C documents, which are used to indicate business profit and losses, to clients’ Form 1040 when they did not own any businesses. The DOJ said Booker would also employ other schemes to avoid tax due and owning to the IRS by her clients.
