PITTSBURGH, PA — A Moon Township man has pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of filing a false tax return in a case involving $1 million in unreported taxes.

From 2017 to 2022, Albert Boyd Jr., 53, failed to report income from his company, Boyd Roll-Off Services Inc., on the business's tax return. The total tax loss was at least $1 million, according to U.S. Attorney Eric G. Olshan's office.

Specifically, Boyd ensured that much of the company’s income from the sale of scrap metal went unreported by causing cash proceeds not to be deposited in the business bank account and causing checks to be deposited into accounts other than the business bank account. Boyd then failed to provide his tax return preparer with records relating to the undeposited cash and diverted checks.

Boyd will be sentenced in December. He faces up to three years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the pecuniary gain or loss of the offense, or both.
