PHOENIX – A Phoenix woman, Sandra Gamboa, was sentenced to twelve months and one day in prison. Gamboa pleaded guilty to filing false income tax returns.
In addition to serving time in prison, Gamboa was ordered to pay $101,287 in restitution to the IRS.
According to Department of Justice, Gamboa operated SGB Enterprises, a tax preparation business, through which she filed multiple false federal income tax returns with the IRS. For her own tax return, Gamboa listed false information to fraudulently reduce her tax liability. For some of the clients of her tax preparation business, she secretly changed the numbers in the income tax returns before filing them with the IRS, generating falsely-inflated refunds that Gamboa kept for herself.
