WASHINGTON – The owner of a window installation company located in Mt.Laurel, N.J. admitted today he converted to cash millions of dollars in the company's gross receipts and used the money to pay his workers without withholding employment taxes announced, Paul J. Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, and Kathryn Keneally, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division.
Fred Marcus, 39, of Camden County, N.J., the owner and operator of Vortex Installations Inc., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper in New Jersey federal court to an information charging him with one count of tax evasion.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
From early 2006 through the end of 2009, Marcus cashed approximately $2.8 million in Vortex Installations' gross receipts at a check casher. Marcus used $1,025,868 of that money to pay cash wages to his workers, which he did not report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and from which he did not withhold employment taxes. From 2006 through 2008, Marcus failed to file IRS Forms 941 – Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Returns – in which he was required to report the wages paid to his employees. In 2009, Marcus filed false Forms 941, in that he failed to report the cash wages that he paid to Vortex employees.
On the count of tax evasion, Marcus faces a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000, along with restitution to the IRS. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 19, 2013.
