Washington State Accountant Sentenced for Tax Fraud

Roger Stadtmuller of Spokane, WA received a 15-month prison sentence and ordered to pay $400,000 in restitution to the IRS on charges of tax fraud. Stadtmueller filed false tax returns for his two businesses and under reported his income by $1.8 million.  His attorney requested that he be given home detention but the judge denied the request, stating that “Allowing Stadtmuller to spend time in his multi-million dollar home wouldn’t be a just punishment.”
