IHHC (Immanuel Home Health Care) of Baytown, Texas was levied by the IRS back in May of 2008 for tax fraud dating back to 2003. In an apparent attempt to defraud the IRS out of over four million dollars in owed taxes, IHHC Director Karie Spell of Mont Belvieu/Baytown, Texas and Bob Palmarez of College Station, Texas and Klint Bush of Hardin, Texas changed and transferred all IHHC assets namely, “DBA Signature Health Services” into their own names. IHHC had originally owned the DBA "Signature Health Services" since 08/14/2003.
Back in May of 2008, Karie Spell and Bob Palmarez fraudulently signed and filed documents with TDADS (Texas Department of Aging) that- 1. Robert Palmarez didn’t have a criminal record, 2. Robert Palmarez and Karie Spell were owners of DBA “Signature Health Care“ when in fact IHHC is the owner of DBA “Signature Health Services”. The subject TDADS fraudulent filings were notarized by Klint Bush. Court records, affidavits and documents filed with the State of Texas show that the owner of IHHC and its DBA’s were 'in fact' IHHC- until the IRS initiated collection actions. IHHC Directors, Karie Spell and Bob Palmarez filed fraudulent documents over 22 times with the State of Texas and Harris County DBA records (see below) to evade the IRS. Karie Spell's and Klint Bush’s names and signatures are all over the documents with TDADS, Harris County DBA and affidavits filed in Liberty County Courts, a Liberty County Grand Jury and Harris County court documents. Collectively, these 22 documents filed constitute 22 counts of “filing of a false government document” which were designed with intent to harm/defraud IHHC and stockholders.
The sum of the fraudulent documents signed by Spell/Palmarez and notarized by Klint Bush were done so within only a few days after the 2008 IRS levy. The actions of Spell, Palmarez and Bush were taken so that the IRS would pursue IHHC while the fraudulent activity and tax evasion could continue under the DBA, “Signature Health Services”. IRS has filed garnishments and levies against IHHC but doesn't realize they and the taxpayers have been duped via more fraud by Karie Spell, Bob Palmarez and Klint Bush. Additionally, Spell and Bush have made false statements to a Liberty County Grand Jury, law enforcement and prosecutors.
How to beat the IRS and Make Millions: Through the use of a simple DBA fraud, Karie Spell and Robert Palmarez have eluded the IRS and been able to receive over $100,000.00 into their bank accounts just in the past week. This fraud is only able to exist via the use of the IHHC 'E.I.N. number' and funds directed from Medicare and Palmetto GBA medicare payment provider. All this while Spell and Palmarez laugh at the IRS, The State of Texas, Harris County and Liberty County. The fraudulent tainted money they have received has knowingly been accepted by their attorney, John Stewart Fason, for legal fees since July 2007. It's interesting to note, John Fason has used court documents to help Spell and Palmarez perpetrate tax fraud against the IRS, but has kept his name off of filed state forms, effectively setting the fraudsters up for a fall he can walk away from. Its alleged that Karie Spell and Robert Palmarez are part of a group known and associated with the Irwin Schiff's tax protest group. Spell, Bush and Palmarez have a long history of problems with the evasion of taxes dating back into the 90's. Investigators also believe Karie Spell, Palmarez's and Klint Bush are in the process of transferring or selling the patients used or held by Signature Health Services.
The Noose: Because Karie Spell and Robert Palmarez have transferred the company into their names via a DBA, they have sealed their fate. Whatever money and joy they may have obtained will be short lived due to the fact they have effectively assumed all IRS liability and exposed or proven themselves as tax evaders due to their deliberate acts.
Update: An investigator for the IRS states that "Signature Health Services" directors and employees more than likely will have to return monies paid to them by "Signature". The money paid to employees for the past two years will be levied and collected from the "Signature" employees to help pay the mounting tax fraud of over four million dollars.
By now you might ask why the IRS would allow this tax fraud to continue? That is a very good question which should be directed toward IRS (C.I.) Investigators.
Additional note:
Klint Bush of Hardin, Texas has run a candle making business out of the back of his Liberty Texas family businesses- 1st. Dollar store and then, 2nd. Party Store located in Liberty, Texas in an attempt to hide income from the IRS. He and his family have also run a concrete figurines business out of their back yard in Hardin, Texas under the IRS radar.
