Sean P. Costello U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama
Kenneshia Davis, a resident of Mobile, Alabama, has been sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for tax fraud. The court found that Davis had underreported her income by over $2 million from 2015 to 2017 while operating Davis Tax Service with her cousin, Brandy Lynn Davis. Judge Jeffrey Beaverstock ordered her to pay $67,975 in restitution and serve one year of supervised release following her prison term.
Special Agent in Charge Demetrius Hardeman from the IRS Criminal Investigation's Atlanta Field Office commented on the case: "Kenneshia Davis avoided paying her fair share of taxes by concealing income from the IRS, which is a crime." He emphasized the commitment of IRS Criminal Investigation special agents to uphold confidence in the tax system by investigating and prosecuting those who evade their federal tax obligations.
Brandy Lynn Davis has also admitted guilt for filing fraudulent tax returns and is set to be sentenced on July 10, 2025.
The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama. The investigation was conducted by IRS Criminal Investigations, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Kasee Heisterhagen handling prosecution for the United States.
