Joyce Leard, the owner of Mr. Tree, was indicted for not paying employment taxes and not filing tax returns, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
According to the DOJ, Leard withheld approximately $655,000 from her employees’ wages between 2018 and 2020 but failed to pay those funds to the Internal Revenue Service or file quarterly tax returns. Instead, she used the money to purchase real estate titled in her name. Additionally, she did not file individual tax returns for 2018 through 2020.
