According to court documents 39-year-old Jesus Perez-Aguayo, as owner and operator of two companies (JLP Construction and JP Remodeling), has a responsibility to collect employee payroll taxes then forward the funds to the Internal Revenue Service.

Between 2014 and 2019, Perez-Aguayo admits he didn’t pay the full amount due to the IRS, creating a tax loss of approximately $286,049. He also admits to using his business bank account for his personal expenses.

IRS Criminal Investigation is handling this case.
