SAN ANTONIO – A Von Ormy woman was sentenced to two years in prison for knowingly submitting false tax returns for clients, the Department of Justice said in a news release.

Sandy Gonzalez, 44, operated SV Tax and JNC Tax Professionals in San Antonio between January 2018 and April 2021. According to the DOJ, Gonzalez filed tax returns that reduced the amount of her clients’ reportable income by deducting losses for businesses that were either inflated or did not exist.

Gonzalez submitted these forms to the IRS, which reduced her clients’ tax burden and increased their tax refund, the DOJ said.

Gonzalez was indicted for 10 counts on April 3, 2024, and pleaded guilty to a count of assisting the filing of a false tax return in December 2024, the DOJ said.

She was sentenced in a federal court in San Antonio and was ordered to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution, according to the release.
