Area Tax Preparer Sentenced on Charges Involving Filing False Tax Returns

St. Louis, MO – ANGEL BAILEY-DYSON, a tax preparer who worked for Tax King, a local tax preparation business, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and ordered to pay $28,694 restitution to the IRS.  Bailey-Dyson previously pled guilty to preparing false tax returns for customers for tax years 2011 and 2012.  The false returns minimized the customers’ liability and thereby maximized the customers’ tax refunds.

This case was investigated by Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation.
