Church bookkeeper from Idaho Falls convicted of tax evasion
BOISE — A bookkeeper from Idaho Falls is serving prison time for state income tax evasion, perjury and grand theft after embezzling money from her church, a press release said Thursday.
The Bonneville County District Court sentenced Kaitlyn Fisher to two years fixed and three years indeterminate for tax evasion, three years fixed and 10 years indeterminate for perjury and three years fixed and 10 years indeterminate for grand theft, according to the Idaho State Tax Commission.
Fisher will serve all prison sentences concurrently with credit for time served. The court also ordered her to pay more than $338,000 in restitution to her former employer.
In 2018, Fisher began working as a church administrator and bookkeeper. A co-worker reported Fisher to the Idaho Falls Police in 2022 after going through the church’s financial books and discovering Fisher was embezzling money.
