A Danville woman has been sentenced to three years of probation, including 12 months of home confinement, after pleading guilty to willfully failing to pay more than $600,000 in employment taxes. Julia Ann McKinnis, 66, was also ordered to complete 300 hours of community service.
McKinnis was the majority owner and operator of Angel Wings Home Health, a business she began operating in 2007. Since at least 2010, she served as administrator and owned 90 percent of the company.
Court documents show that in 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Collections Division began investigating Angel Wings for not properly reporting and paying employment taxes. The investigation ended in 2016 with an installment agreement set up for the company to pay its unpaid taxes.
Despite this agreement, from the third quarter of 2018 through the fourth quarter of 2021, Angel Wings understated employee wages reported to the IRS and again failed to report and pay required employment taxes.
“Julia Ann McKinnis waived her right to be indicted and pled guilty in October 2024 to one count of willfully failing to pay taxes,” according to officials.
The announcement was made by C. Todd Gilbert, United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia, and Kareem Carter, Special Agent in Charge of IRS – Criminal Investigation for Washington D.C. Field Office.
The case was investigated by IRS – Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Scheff prosecuted on behalf of the United States.
