Killingworth, CT lawyer sentenced for failing to pay taxes
May 18th, 2010 - 12:27 am ICT by BNO NewsBRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT (BNO NEWS) – A Killingworth, Connecticut lawyer was sentenced on Friday to three years of probation for failing to pay taxes on more than $120,000 in income, prosecutors announced on Monday.
David Thomas, 56, was also ordered to perform 150 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false federal tax return on January 4.
From 2004 to 2005, Thomas was hired by the Cedar Island Improvement Association to provide legal assistance to a project. Cedar Island Improvement was contracted to do the installation of an underwater pipe connecting the Town of Clinton and Cedar Island.
During his time working with the project, Thomas received $120,877 from the Association. However for the tax years 2004 and 2005, Thomas federal tax returns did not reflect the amount earned. His adjusted gross income was shown as zero in the tax returns that Thomas filed.
Thomas, who has resigned from the practice of law, must pay approximately $80,744 in back taxes, penalties and interest.
