Angel De La Rosa and Yaimy Real, operators of a tax return preparation business in Jasper, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, have been sentenced for their involvement in a fraudulent tax return scheme.

The defendants acted as 'ghost' return preparers, failing to identify themselves on the returns, which allowed them to file without disclosing their involvement.

The scheme also involved collecting approximately $736,500 in fees from clients.
