A Tulsa woman was sentenced to serve 47 months in prison today. Tameka Denise Johnson was ordered to pay $88,194.23 in restitution to the IRS for her role in a scheme to file and obtain refunds from at least 49 false income tax returns.

Johnson pleaded guilty on May 20, 2015, to the federal charge of false claim against the government. Her co-conspirator Sidney Brook Mayfield, 30, of San Antonio, Texas, was sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to pay $47,408.91 in restitution to the IRS on November 9, 2015.

According to court records, during 2011 and 2012, Johnson and Mayfield obtained personal identification information such as names, dates of birth, addresses, and Social Security numbers from various persons, and used that information to create and file fraudulent income tax returns for the years 2010 and 2011.
