Federal prosecutors have charged the Lackawanna County guardian ad litem with two counts of tax evasion and two counts of filing a false federal income-tax report.
A 13-page indictment filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Tuesday accused attorney Danielle Ross of reporting only the income she was making from a $38,000 contract with the county, alleging that she attempted to "defeat a large part of" the tax she owed in 2009 and 2010 when she reported her income on joint tax returns with her husband those years. The charging document alleges that the extra money came from Ross’ privately billing litigants on top of her salary, a practice that her contract allowed her to do.
