ALBANY, NEW YORK - Elizabeth Doyle, age 49, of Ballston Lake. New York, pled guilty today to filing false tax returns. The announcement was made by United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Thomas Fattorusso, Acting Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Office, Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation (“IRS-CI").
Doyle operates a Saratoga County company that places home health care aides in patients’ homes. As part of her guilty plea, Doyle admitted to filing materially false tax returns that underreported business income in 2016 and 2017. Doyle admitted to underreporting a total of $647,263 in income, resulting in a loss to the federal government of at least $94,522.
Doyle faces up to 3 years in prison, a maximum fine of $100,000, and a term of supervised release of up to 1 year, when Senior United States District Judge Lawrence E. Kahn sentences her on Feb. 16, 2022. A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors.
In a related case, on March 24, 2021, Betty J. Marriott, age 71, of Gansevoort, New York - the prior owner of Doyle’s company - pled guilty to filing false tax returns; her sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 21, 2021.
