    IMMIGRANT ADVOCATE PLEADS GUILTY FOR FALSELY ADDING MEXICAN CHILDREN AS DEPENDENTS ON CLIENT’S TAX RETURN

    9/1/2018


    An advocate for immigrants pleaded guilty on Friday for falsely adding three Mexican children as dependents on a client’s tax return.

    Elias Bermudez, 67, helped immigrants preparing immigration and tax documents, The Associated Press reported. Officials said that Bermudez allegedly told undercover International Revenue Services (IRS) agents, who acted as clients, that they should include false dependents on their tax returns to reduce their liabilities.

    Officials also added that Bermudez allegedly encouraged clients to list family members living in Mexico, including children that did not belong to the clients, as dependents, The AP reported. Bermudez allegedly prepared 27 false income tax returns from 2010 to 2012.

Peg: "It's a good thing I did the taxes. You see, I had this idea. If claiming two children as dependents gets you $200, imagine what 23 kids would be worth."
