Green Bay Woman Explains Her Tax Fraud: Did It To “Stimulate The Economy”

A federal judge wasn’t buying a Green Bay woman’s story that she prepared false income tax returns to “stimulate the economy.”  Forty-seven-year-old Catalina Taboada was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison this week.  She ran a tax preparation business in Green Bay, fraudulently claiming child tax credits for her clients whose children lived in Mexico.  Federal prosecutors say she also claimed credits for nieces, nephews, cousins and even distant relatives, stealing more than a half-million dollars.
