司法部：Danbury屋顶公司老板Mark Edwards少报收入逾130万美元，被判缓刑两年含六个月居家监禁
美国司法部康涅狄格区联邦检察官办公室10月29日宣布，现年61岁、住在 Connecticut 州 Danbury 的 Mark Edwards 已在位于 New Haven 的联邦法院被判刑：因提交虚假报税表，被判缓刑两年，其中前六个月须居家监禁，并被处以25,000美元罚款与100小时社区服务。联邦地区法官 Sarah F. Russell 作出上述判决。
根据法庭文件与法庭陈述，Edwards 自约1998年起拥有并经营一家屋顶与建筑公司 Mark Edwards Roofing and Siding, LLC。至少自2018年起，他没有为公司保存准确账目或记账，在准备所得税申报时向报税人提供手写的收入与支出数字，大幅少报收入。在2019至2023纳税年度的联邦所得税申报中，他将总收入少报了至少130万美元，给国税局（IRS）造成368,334美元的税款损失。
检方表示，Edwards 已向国税局赔付全部368,334美元税款损失，但仍面临大额税务罚款与利息。Edwards 已于2026年3月25日就协助准备虚假报税表一项罪名认罪。
此案由国税局刑事调查处（IRS Criminal Investigation）调查，助理联邦检察官 Christopher W. Schmeisser 负责起诉。
DOJ: Danbury Roofing Company Owner Mark Edwards Sentenced for Filing False Tax Returns That Hid More Than $1.3 Million in Receipts
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut announced on October 29 that Mark Edwards, 61, of Danbury, was sentenced in federal court in New Haven to two years of probation, the first six months of which he must spend in home detention, for filing false tax returns. U.S. District Judge Sarah F. Russell also ordered Edwards to pay a $25,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Edwards has owned and operated Mark Edwards Roofing and Siding, LLC, a roofing and construction business, since approximately 1998. Beginning at least as early as 2018, he failed to keep accurate records or perform bookkeeping for the business and provided his tax preparer with handwritten income and expense figures that substantially underreported his income. On his federal returns for the 2019 through 2023 tax years, he underreported gross receipts by at least $1.3 million, resulting in a tax loss to the IRS of $368,334.
Edwards has paid restitution of $368,334 to the IRS but still faces substantial tax penalties and interest. He pleaded guilty on March 25, 2026, to aiding in the preparation of a false tax return.
The case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher W. Schmeisser.
