The co-owner of Beck’s Refuse Service in Washington County, Pennsylvania, has pleaded guilty to filing a false income tax return in connection with underreporting nearly $1 million in receipts from her business over four years.
As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tina Beck—who runs Beck’s Refuse Service with her husband—entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Marilyn Horan. Beck had been indicted last September on multiple counts of filing false returns from 2015 through 2018.
The grand jury found that in 2016, she reported receipts of $285,867 for the 2015 tax year, but the real receipts were much higher. Beck also did the same for other years.
In total, she acknowledged underreporting receipts in excess of $986,000. The tax loss to the IRS was more than $232,000.
Judge Horan set sentencing for June 21, according to the Post-Gazette.
