The federal government says a Yonkers plastic surgeon has failed to pay more than $221,000 in employment taxes.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara filed a civil lawsuit on Jan. 11 against Aloysius G. Smith, owner and medical director of Plastic Surgery Associates of New York.
He eventually reported a tax liability of $139,202, the lawsuit states, but has accrued a $221,290 liability, including penalties and interest.
He typically delayed filing tax forms for hundreds of days. In one instance, according to the lawsuit, a quarterly tax return was filed more than two-and-a-half years after it was due.
Smith was out of the office when called and he has not yet responded to a message requesting comment.
The Internal Revenue Service has filed tax liens and levied Smith”™s bank accounts and other accounts, the lawsuit states, but secured only nominal funds.
The U.S. Attorney”™s Office is asking U.S District Court Judge Kenneth M. Karas in White Plains for injunctions ordering Smith to pay the taxes and comply with tax laws.
