David Anderson, MD, a physician in Morgantown, W.Va., admitted to filing a false tax return.
Dr. Anderson filed tax returns that understated his taxable income, leading to a loss of $143,599 to the Internal Revenue Service, according to an Aug. 26 news release from the Justice Department.
Dr. Anderson is responsible for paying back the balance, plus penalties and interest. He faces up to three years in federal prison.
A judge will determine his sentence, taking sentencing guidelines and other factors into consideration, the release said.
