Summary
Thomas Walker, 63, admitted in Bridgeport federal court on May 31 that he willfully failed to account for and pay over employment taxes tied to his Danbury preschool business.
Prosecutors said Walker, who owned and managed New England Country Day School, was responsible for payroll tax obligations but largely failed to file returns properly or make required payments from 2018 to 2024.
Court records estimate the conduct caused a $639,158 loss to the IRS.
Walker remains free pending sentencing, scheduled for Aug. 31, and faces up to five years in prison on the federal charge.
