ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
A 39-year-old man was sentenced for filing over 80 false tax returns seeking an excess of $1 million in refunds.
Roddrick Morris of Atlanta pleaded guilty on February 23, 2012.
According to Attorney Sally Quillian Yates, Morris was sentenced to two years, nine months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution.
The false tax returns claimed high deductions, which inflated the amounts of the refunds sought from the IRS, according to reports.
The IRS paid out over $230,000 in refunds on these false returns.
