Derek Chauvin’s Ex-Wife is Found Guilty on Tax Evasion Charges

As we all remember and will never forget ,in 2020 Derek Chauvin, a racist Minnesota Police Officer brutally killed George Floyd…SAY HIS NAME! In November of 2021 Derek Chauvin and his wife Kellie Chauvin were charged for tax evasion. The Chauvin’s were charged with underreporting more than $464,000 in income and owing the state of Minnesota nearly $38,000 in taxes in addition to late fees and fraud penalties in which they both pleaded not guilty. Coincidently Kellie had simultaneously filed for divorce. SN: A divorce does not pardon you from Tax Fraud Charges.

The charges stated they failed to file income tax returns with the state of Minnesota for 2016, 2017 and 2018, and that they failed to report and pay taxes on income they earned for work outside their primary occupations between 2014 and 2019. The state of Minnesota had sent the Chauvin’s numerous correspondence in 2019 and 2020, which they ignored. Outside of his position as a Police Officer, Derek Chauvin worked as a Security Guard at local bars and Kellie Chauvin had multiple side hustles to include being a Real Estate Agent and photographer.

The Chauvins had timely filed their 2014 and 2015 tax returns but omitted their side hustle income. After Derek’s arrest the couple attempted to come in compliance by filing their 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax returns but still left out their additional income (as if the public brutal killing of George Floyd wasn’t injustice enough).

The investigation of the Chauvin’s financial records showed Derek earned about $96,000 at one sinlge bar, El Nuevo Rodeo, working as a Security Guard and Kellie’s bank records showed that she had deposited 340 checks from her work for KC Images totaling more than $66,000.

Kellie Chauvin was charged with two felony counts of aiding and abetting tax fraud and will be sentenced on May 12th. Kellie will not serve any prison time but will serve a 3 year probation term along with community service as well as pay restitution.

In a recent interview Kellie stated the Derek‘s actions have ruined her life, but in the same breath she also stated that he is a “Softie” under his uniform….make it make sense honey!

How long do you think it’ll take before the Feds jump on this case?
