Falsified Tax Records Lead To PPP Loan Investigations

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was launched to provide financial assistance to struggling businesses. However, the fast rollout and urgent demand quickly opened the door to abuse. One of the most scrutinized areas by federal investigators involves falsified tax documents in PPP loans, where individuals or businesses submitted fake or altered financial records to qualify for larger amounts of relief funds.

A common method of deception included submitting documents that either didn’t exist or were altered to reflect higher income, more employees, or falsified levels of business activity. In other cases, applicants used inaccurate tax returns that didn’t match previously submitted records with the IRS or used entirely made-up financial histories to secure funding. Prosecutors pursuing tax return fraud in PPP cases have emphasized the seriousness of presenting such false information during a federally backed emergency relief effort. Allegations of falsifying tax documents for federal funding can lead to severe criminal charges, hefty fines, and prison time.

For any individuals or businesses under scrutiny, it’s important to remember that early legal intervention is key. Working with a trusted legal advisor can mean the difference between getting a reduced charge and getting prison time.

We Provide Aggressive Criminal Defense Representation

Throughout our legal career, we’ve consistently reduced charges or gotten them dismissed entirely for our clients, and our track record shows that proven success rate. Recently, we had a client who was facing a felony battery charge and 5 years in prison. Through aggressive representation, we were able to reduce that charge to a misdemeanor, and our client did not have to serve jail time as a result. In another case more closely related to claims of falsified tax documents PPP loans, our client was being charged with a felony worthless check, though she did not have criminal intent. We were able to get the charges dropped entirely for this client.

We are committed to fighting for our clients, helping them to reduce charges, avoid jail time, and protect their future. Regardless of where you are in the legal process, we can help with your PPP loan fraud case.
