A New York tax preparer who pleaded guilty to filing phony state income tax returns in 2009 has been arrested on new tax charges. Sabba, owner of the TaxPro Financial Network, faces two felony counts of criminal tax fraud and offering a false instrument for filing. He faces a maximum of four years in prison if convicted. His actions are alleged to have cost New York more than $90,000. Investigators discovered that Sabba sold a previous tax preparation business for $3.2 million.
In 2009, Sabba was ordered to pay restitution to New York State of more than $400,000 in combined back taxes, interest, and penalties after pleading guilty to filing a false state personal income tax return and failure to file corporation franchise tax returns.
