True Lies and the IRS Agent Who Told Them
Jennifer True, who was employed by the IRS for 22 years as a Lead Contact Representative, pleaded guilty to the preparation of at least 70 false tax returns while an employee of the United States.
True filed more than 500 tax returns for herself and others and admitted to falsifying items such as individual retirement accounts, medical expenses, unreimbursed business expenses and/or tax preparation fees. The IRS prohibits employees from “Engaging in the preparation of tax returns for compensation, gift or favor.”
True faces up to eight years in prison and $500,000 in restitution.
