Yellowhammer Times

Mobile resident Brandy Davis has been sentenced to five years of probation, with the first year under home confinement, following her conviction for tax fraud. The sentence was handed down by Judge Terry F. Moorer and includes ankle monitoring during the period of home confinement. Additionally, Davis is required to pay $53,435 in restitution.

Court documents revealed that Davis operated a tax service business in Mobile with her cousin Kenneshia Davis. Records from the Internal Revenue Service indicated that Brandy Davis underreported her income by over $1 million in 2015 and 2016 and failed to file any tax returns for 2017 despite having significant income.

“Tax preparers who knowingly evade their own tax obligations can expect to be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” stated Sean P. Costello, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama.

“As a tax preparer, Brandy Davis knew her responsibilities in filing returns and properly reporting all income. However, she still willfully failed to fulfill her tax obligations,” said Demetrius Hardeman, Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation at the Atlanta Field Office. “IRS Criminal Investigation will vigorously investigate those individuals who knowingly and willfully evade their tax obligation."

Kenneshia Davis was previously sentenced in June 2025 to serve a year and a day of incarceration along with an order to pay $67,975 in restitution.

The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello for the Southern District of Alabama following an investigation conducted by IRS Criminal Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kasee Heisterhagen prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
