A Las Vegas woman was sentenced to 30 months in prison for conspiring to defraud the United States by filing false tax returns and diverting refunds. Iris Hondermann, owner of Silver State Tax & Multiservices LLC, and her codefendant prepared falsified tax returns from 2017 to 2021, claiming false business profits, COVID-19 credits, and energy credits. They sought over $5 million in refunds, with more than $1.1 million diverted to their controlled accounts. Hondermann pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to defraud the government. Her codefendant awaits sentencing. The case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation and prosecuted by the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division. Officials emphasized the scheme’s impact on taxpayer trust and federal funds.
