A federal judge sentenced a West Jordan woman to prison Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to using the identities of deceased people to obtain income tax refunds.
U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell sentenced Jacquelin Boyd, 37, to a year in prison and three years of supervision upon her release and ordered her to pay $32,243 in restitution.
As part of a plea agreement, Boyd admitted that in 2012 she worked with others to obtain information that included Social Security numbers of deceased people and then used it to file false tax returns that sought refunds.
The IRS sent refunds to bank accounts that were controlled by Boyd, according to court documents.
Boyd's attorney, Nathan Crane, previously said she had been a methamphetamine addict who has since sobered up.
