Federal tax authorities are taking legal action to recover nearly $400,000 from the operator of a Boardman pilates studio.

The U.S. Justice Department’s Tax Division on Tuesday filed a complaint against Denise Carradine, a licensed chiropractor who operates the Carradine Chiropractic Center and the Breath of Vitality pilates studio in Boardman.

According to the complaint, Carradine did not tell the IRS about $274,832 deposited into bank accounts she had opened for her businesses in 2006.

Authorities say that most of that money was transferred to an account maintained by Carradine’s attorney, David Roland of Hubbard.

The complaint alleges that in 2006, Carradine met with a representative of a Swiss bank and opened an account based in Belize and owned by a trust in the Bahamas.

From 2006 through 2008, the funds Carradine had allegedly transferred to her lawyer, as well as other money was moved to the Swiss account, according to the complaint.

According to 21 News archives, attorney Roland was disbarred in 2016 for hiding $850,000 in Carradine's divorce case.

Federal officials say approximately, $814,000.00 was deposited into the Swiss run account during the two-year period.

After officials of the Swiss bank terminated business with customers in 2009, Carradine allegedly transferred the funds to an account held in the name of a West Indies corporation located in Turks and Caicos Islands.

That account was closed in 2014 and the funds were moved to the United States.

Tax authorities say Carradine did not disclose the Swiss or West Indies accounts to her tax preparer in the years 2006 through 2012.

Carradine did notify her new income tax return preparer that her businesses had unreported income totaling $446,000 from 2006 through 2012 and amended tax returns were filed for those years.

However, investigators say the amended returns did not report interest income from foreign accounts.

Treasury officials say Carradine is liable for $399,808 in interest and late penalties for “her willful failure” to report the foreign bank accounts.

Carradine has not yet filed a response in court.

The civil case has been assigned to a federal magistrate.
