Union City man guilty in tax fraud case - Georgia Business News

Union City, Ga. resident Michael Thornton , 41, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal district court to tax fraud related to a $1.8 million scheme.

According to U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates , the charges and other information presented in court, Thornton worked as an operations manager at a collection agency from 2005 through 2007. While working there, he prepared and filed fraudulent tax returns for numerous co-workers and associates.

Disregarding the information given to him by the taxpayers, Thornton inflated their incomes and fabricated deductions on the returns to obtain tax refunds that were not truly owed.

Thornton did not list himself as the preparer, review the returns with the taxpayers, or give the taxpayers a copy of the returns, impeding the detection of his fraud.

Thornton charged between $150 and $650 for each return, and also had some of the refund checks deposited in his personal bank account.

When the IRS requested verification from Thornton’s company for the wages claimed on the fraudulent returns, Thornton attempted to submit a fraudulent verification consistent with the bogus wages, but was caught by the company’s owner and fired before he could do so.

Thornton filed more than 340 returns for the 2005 and 2006 tax years. IRS agents have examined a number of those returns and identified over $1.8 million in false items claimed by Thornton, resulting in a tax loss to the government of nearly $320,000.

Thornton also filed a fraudulent personal return for himself in the 2005 tax year.

His sentencing is set for Sept. 6. He faces up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
