A New Jersey man pleaded guilty to preparing false tax returns for clients. According to court documents and statements made in court, Vito A. Pascarella prepared, and caused to be prepared, false tax returns for clients. Pascarella reported false wage numbers, falsely reported that taxpayers owned and operated businesses that they did not own or operate, and he falsely reported that those purported businesses earned gross receipts and incurred business expenses that they did not. He caused a tax loss to the IRS of over $550,000. Pascarella is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 15, and faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison, a period of supervised release, restitution, and monetary penalties.
