A 5 Million Dollar Judgment for Tax Evasion Did Not Keep this Man From Trying Again

Michael Goldner already had a five million dollar restitution judgment against him for a tax evasion and wire fraud conviction when he concocted a scheme to avoid paying taxes on additional income.

 

From 2013 to 2017, Goldner accrued a tax liability of $1,858,740. In order to avoid paying these taxes he had his employer make payments to Goldner’s wife for personal expenses, including the mortgage of the house where his family lived, rent for an apartment where he lived, service for his pool, dance classes for his daughter and a vacation for his family.

 

The employer even made payments on Goldner’s tax evasion judgment.

Goldner did not declare any of these payments as income on his 2016 and 2017 tax returns.

 

If convicted he faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and $250,000 in restitution.
