Vermont Man Pleads Guilty to Tax Fraud

CONCORD, N.H. - A Vermont man pleaded guilty yesterday to federal charges he filed false income tax returns from 2010 to 2013.

According to a release from United States Attorney Scott W. Murray, Kurt Devoid, 60, of Quechee, Vermont, a self-employed painter failed to report substantial income he received from his residential customers.

Devoid’s failure to report the true amount of his personal income during the four year period caused a tax loss of $98,482 to the United States Treasury.

DeVoid will be sentenced on August 22, 2018.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to working with the IRS to enforce the federal tax laws,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “This prosecution demonstrates that those who submit false or fraudulent tax returns will be held criminally responsible for their actions.”

The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert M. Kinsella.
