A New Hartford woman has pleaded guilty in New Haven federal court to tax and structuring offenses.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between 2007 and 2009, while working as an office manager for a medical practice in Hartford, Andrea Dobrozensky made numerous transfers and deposits from the medical practice business bank account into her personal bank account as compensation for her services to the medical practice and untaken vacation time. During those three years, Dobrozensky willfully failed to provide her tax return preparer with information concerning her receipt of approximately $247,000 in additional taxable income. Each year, Dobrozensky signed her completed federal tax return and it was filed with the IRS. As a result, $247,000 in taxable income was not reported on her federal tax returns for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax years, and she failed to pay a total of $76,750 in additional taxes owed.
Dobrozensky also unlawfully structured financial transactions, according to the court, writing multiple checks to herself and others under $10,000 in order to avoid filling out Currency Transaction Reports. These reports are required for $10,000-plus transaction, regardless of whether the source of the funds is legitimate.
Dobrozensky pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false tax return and one count of unlawfully structuring financial transactions. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 6, 2016, at which time she faces a maximum term of imprisonment of eight years and a fine of up to $500,000. She also has agreed to pay the IRS $76,750 in taxes, plus penalties and interest, and to forfeit $9,900 related to her structuring activity.
Dobrozensky is released on bond pending sentencing.
