December 14, 2022 — According to court statements and evidence presented in court, Gaston Gilberto Reyes, of Germantown, did not file income tax returns with the IRS for the years 2015 through 2020. During this period, he did not report more than $1.15 million in total wages from employment at eight different security firms in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Reyes also submitted false Forms W-4 to his employers on which he claimed he was exempt from federal income tax withholding, causing the employers to withhold little or no federal income taxes from his wages. At trial, the evidence established that Reyes did not pay approximately $200,000 in income taxes over the six-year period.
