PITTSBURGH - A resident of New Kensington, Pa., was sentenced today in federal court to 12 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, and a fine of $5,000, on his conviction of tax evasion, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Senior United States District Court Judge Donetta W. Ambrose imposed sentence upon William Henry Julius.
According to information presented to the court, as the owner of Materials Design Evaluation, Inc., Julius falsified company records by understating receipts and inflating business expenses, and then conveyed these false numbers to the person who prepared his corporate tax returns. Julius then used the false business income amounts in preparing his own fraudulent personal tax return Forms 1040, for 2008-2010, wherein he understated his tax liability by a total of $121,046.00.
Assistant United States Attorney Mary McKeen Houghton prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Julius.
