AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say an eastern Georgia tax preparer has been sentenced to two years in prison for his role in fraudulent tax refund scheme.
Officials said Monday that 44-year-old Carlos Newton, of Waynesboro, pleaded guilty to filing tax forms on behalf of fictitious businesses or used fraudulent incomes and expenses to qualify clients for earned income tax credits.
Prosecutors say Newton prepared 22 fraudulent returns between January 2009 and January 2011 and charged clients additional fees for the fraudulent returns.
Officials say the federal government paid nearly $90,000 in refunds based on the fraudulent tax forms.
