Jimmy Desir, a tax preparer from Miramar, Florida, appeared in federal court in Miami for allegedly orchestrating a scheme to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Desir is accused of filing false income tax returns through his business, A1 Plus Financial Services, Inc., based in North Miami Beach.
The indictment charges 46-year-old Desir with 22 counts of assisting in the preparation of false and fraudulent tax returns. It alleges that he included fabricated entries on clients' tax returns to inflate their refunds and increase his fees. These false entries reportedly involved fictitious fuel tax credits, education credits, and Schedules C with invented business losses. The IRS estimates a revenue loss exceeding $2 million due to these actions.
U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O’Byrne for the Southern District of Florida and Special Agent in Charge Emmanuel Gomez of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS CI), Miami Field Office, announced the charges against Desir. The IRS CI is handling the investigation while Assistant U.S. Attorney Aimee Jimenez prosecutes the case.
It is important to note that an indictment is only an allegation; defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
