Former Wilton-based contractor David Anspach pleaded guilty in Hartford federal court last Thursday to a tax offense.
According to the charges brought against him, Anspach operated a construction and remodeling business. As part of a civil audit of Anspach’s tax return for the 2013 tax year, the IRS discovered that Anspach’s business receipts were underreported – with some of the receipts later accounted for as payments to workers, albeit in an effort to offset further receipts.
Anspach was accused of providing false documents to a representative who had his tax return and was assisting him during the audit. The documents included fabricated letters and invoices intended to establish that Anspach had made payments to vendors beyond those reported on his tax return.
Anspach pleaded guilty to one count of willfully delivering or disclosing to the IRS a false document, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of one year. He is released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 12, 2024.
