ALLEGED RECORDED JAIL HOUSE CONVERSATION REVEALS CHAUVIN AND WIFE ATTEMPTS TO HIDE ASSETS. LEADS TO 9 COUNTS OF TAX EVASION
Think about this, Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill, however Derek and his wife hadn’t paid taxes since 2014, failed to disclose $460,000 in income and owed the IRS more than $21,000.00.
The couple failed to file Minnesota income tax returns from 2016 through 2019 and fraudulently filed tax returns from 2014 to 2019, the prosector’s office said. The couple underreported filings by $464,433, including more than $95,000 that Derek Chauvin earned from off-duty security work, according to NPR.
According to the Washington Post they owe $38,000.00
“The complaints allege that the Chauvins knew of their obligation to file state income tax returns due to their filings in previous years and from multiple correspondences sent in 2019 by the department regarding their missing 2016 individual income tax return,” the district attorney’s statement said.
Revenue investigators began reviewing the Chauvins in June after a recorded jail house call between Chauvin and his wife revealed their attempt to file back taxes and hide assets
