A former Connecticut tax preparer has pleaded guilty to aiding in the preparation of false tax returns, according to an announcement from David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Thomas Demeo, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation in New England.
Diana Miller-Lloyd, also known as “Diana Rabin” and “Diana Lloyd,” age 44, of Jacksonville, Florida, entered her plea on October 1, 2025, in Hartford federal court. She waived her right to be indicted.
Court documents show that Miller-Lloyd previously lived in Middlefield and operated Lloyd Forenzique & Accounting Services Corporation. She started the business in Windsor in 2017 before moving it to Branford in 2019 and then Guilford in 2021. Before founding this company, she provided tax services under the name Lloyd Forensic & Accounting Services.
Authorities stated that Miller-Lloyd regularly secured large federal tax refunds for clients with annual incomes over $500,000 by ignoring information from clients and employers and by fabricating or improperly deducting charitable contributions and business expenses such as advertising, repairs and maintenance, travel, meals, utilities, insurance, and legal services.
From 2016 through 2021 tax years, these actions resulted in attempts to secure at least $1,062,293 for her clients through fraudulent refunds or reductions on taxes owed. The IRS identified suspicious activity on several returns before refund payments were made. This led to an actual loss to the government of $472,913.
Miller-Lloyd also used another individual’s certified public accountant credentials when defending filed returns during IRS audits.
She pleaded guilty to two counts of aiding and assisting in preparing false income tax returns. Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of three years. Miller-Lloyd is currently released on a $25,000 bond while awaiting sentencing scheduled for February 23.
She has agreed to pay restitution totaling $472,913 to the IRS.
The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation Division conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher W. Schmeisser is prosecuting the case.
