Ex-MN Doctor Sentenced To Prison In 18-Year Tax-Evasion Scheme

MINNEAPOLIS — A former medical doctor from Minnesota was sentenced to four months in federal prison following an "extensive tax-evasion scheme," U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced on Friday.

David Meyer, 62, of Roseau, Minnesota pleaded guilty on June 29, 2022, to one count of tax evasion.

At the completion of his prison sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Donovan W. Frank ordered that Meyer must do a six-month term of home confinement and two years of supervised release.

He also must pay full restitution, which amounts to $484,164 in total tax loss.

From 2000 until 2018, Meyer earned "significant taxable income" as a licensed medical doctor and income and interest from his ownership of rental properties, according to authorities.

Meyer repeatedly challenged his tax obligations in court, concealed his taxable income, and even sued his rental tenants for complying with legitimate IRS levies, investigators said.

This case against Meyer was the result of an investigation conducted by the IRS. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Sing prosecuted the case.
