A Maryland man is facing indictment as part of a nationwide enforcement action led by the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, Internal Revenue Service, and Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation targeting tax fraud and related offenses. 

Between early September and today, the National Fraud Enforcement Division’s Tax Section, and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices across the country, participated in the Department’s first-ever National Tax Enforcement Surge. The surge of nationwide resources resulted in prosecutorial actions against 76 defendants whose alleged and proven crimes intended an estimated loss of revenue to the federal government of more than $490 million. 

In the District of Maryland, a 66 year-old Glenn Dale man, is charged with willful failure to collect, account, and pay over taxes, and willful failure to file tax returns.  The charges stem from his failing to account for and pay over trust fund taxes owed to the IRS on behalf of his employees.
