Diana Miller-Lloyd, also known as Diana Rabin and Diana Lloyd, was sentenced on April 15 to 18 months in prison and one year of supervised release for preparing false tax returns, according to David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
Miller-Lloyd’s sentencing highlights ongoing efforts by federal authorities to address fraudulent tax activities that impact government revenues and taxpayer trust. The case underscores the importance of accurate tax preparation and enforcement actions against those who submit false information.
Court documents show that Miller-Lloyd operated Lloyd Forenzique & Accounting Services Corporation, a Connecticut-based tax preparation business established in Windsor in 2017 before moving to Branford and then Guilford. Prosecutors said she routinely secured large federal refunds for clients—many earning over $500,000 annually—by ignoring legitimate financial information and inventing or inflating deductions such as charitable contributions and business expenses like advertising, travel, utilities, insurance, and legal services. These actions led her clients to attempt obtaining at least $1,062,293 in fraudulent refunds or reductions from the Internal Revenue Service between 2016 and 2021. Authorities detected several fraudulent filings before refunds were issued; however, the actual loss to the government totaled $472,913.
Miller-Lloyd also used another person’s certified public accountant credentials during IRS audits. She pleaded guilty on October 1, 2025 to two counts of aiding and assisting in filing false income tax returns. Judge Sarala V. Nagala ordered her to pay $467,717 in restitution to the IRS. Miller-Lloyd is currently released on a $25,000 bond but must report to prison by July 13.
