A Yorktown, N.Y.-based tax preparer who agreed to dissolve his business in 2009 had been indicted on charges he failed to report the income from the sale of that operation. Steve Sabba, who pleaded guilty to filing a fraudulent New York Tax return in 2009, pleaded not guilty Monday to an eight-count indictment which alleges he engaged in a series of tax crimes from February 2012 through March 2018.After his guilty plea in 2009, Sabba sold TaxPro Financial Network and agreed not to use preparer identification numbers he had obtained to efile returns. The new indictment said he received installment payments and did not report the income from those payments.
The new indictment also alleges he hid income from client fees and stole personal identifying information form others to obtain credit cards while using corporate accounts to pay the bills for personal expenses he charged on those cards. He also did not report the income from the use of corporate funds to pay his personal expenses.
