The former operator of a tax preparation service in Jefferson County has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for helping prepare false tax returns.
U.S. District Judge Abdul Kallon imposed the sentence Monday on 47-year-old Dennis Franklin of Birmingham. Franklin pleaded guilty to tax fraud in March. U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance said he admitted causing false tax returns to be filed for seven clients. The clients received larger refunds than they were entitled to receive and then Franklin received a portion of the refunds. The returns were for the tax years 2005 through 2007.
The judge ordered Franklin to pay more than $34,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service
